TPKR Scientifics – The CRA Trainer

The CRA Trainer is an interactive eLearning course that highlights and reinforces information from The CRA’s Guide to Coordinating Clinical Research. The course is designed to be used in tandem with the book, giving the user the opportunity to apply what he or she learns in a practical, thoughtful manner.

The course consisted of five learning modules focusing on different areas of the clinical coordinating profession. A sixth module provides a post-assessment designed to test the user’s acquired knowledge and provide instructive feedback. Although each module contains interactive “Knowledge Checks” throughout, only Module 6 post-assessment is scored.

Each learning module points the user to the relevant sections of The CRA’s Guide, so it is important to have the book at hand for easy reference while completing the course.

Note: The interactive training modules you are about to enter are provided by TPKR Scientifics in collaboration with CenterWatch, A WCG Company.
