Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) orientation

CRC orientation is designed to provide tools and structure to assist with the important process of onboarding new CRC hires. This 10-day orientation consists of approximately 20 hours of online modules, 20 hours of facilitated topics and activities, and 40 hours of on-the-job training.

New CRC hires will be part of a cohort that meets daily from 8 to 10 a.m. for facilitated topics and activities. The remainder of the time will be spent either participating in online modules or in mentored on-the-job training.

CRC orientation objectives:

• Provide an overview of basics of clinical research.
• Introduce resources for support and coordination of protocols.
• Allow employees to experience their work unit right away and build connections and context.
