Bridging the Gap: Creating Opportunities for Diverse Clinical Research Staff
In this episode, we focus on the challenges facing the clinical research industry when it comes to hiring and retaining clinical research coordinators. Over the past few years, the industry has seen a noticeable decrease in available clinical research staff, making it imperative for sites to find new ways to attract and train new talent.
To address this need, Susan Landis, Executive Director of the Association of Clinical Research Professionals (ACRP), shared more information about ACRP's Early Talent Training Program, which aims to create onramps for the clinical research profession.
Kelly, Clark, Head of US Partnerships and Global Site Development from Merck, also discusses the industry's focus on improving diversity within the clinical research profession with the OneTen program, which enables more diverse individuals to enter the research profession.
Join us as we discuss how sites and industry partners can collaborate to develop the next generation of diverse staff.
