This job perform study-related procedures. They work directly with patients to consent potential participants, assisting with participant visits, collect data, and administering treatments.
Who is the study coordinator.
This is medical research involving people.
What is Clinical Research or Clinical Trials
This is a research study that prospectively assigns human participants or groups of humans to one or more health-related interventions to evaluate the effects on health outcomes.
What is a Clinical Trial
Researchers provide this to potential participants so they know the important information like the benefits and potential risks of a trial.
What is informed consent
This program prepares students for careers as clinical monitors or coordinators working at contract research organizations (CROs), pharmaceutical companies, or hospitals. It includes a semester long internship during the final semester which often leads to fulltime jobs in right after graduation.
What is the Bachelors of Science in Clinical Research (BSCR)
This person is responsible for the regulation of the clinical trial at the site. They are also the liaison between the site and the sponsor.
Who is the Clinical Trial Manager
This is a pill that looks like the active drug, but is actually just a sugar pill.
What is a placebo
This is a study design that randomly assigns participants into an experiment group and a control group.
What is a Randomized Control Trial
Researchers need to get this to show the risks of the trial are minimal.
What is IRB approval/Approval
This program provides advanced knowledge of drug development, clinical trial operations, study design, data management, regulatory affairs, medical ethics, scientific writing, and biostatistical literacy. It is completely online.
What is the Masters of Science in Clinical Research (MSCR)
This person is responsible making sure the data collected at clinical research sites is accurate, complete and verifiable. They do this by traveling to different clinical trial sites to perform source verification.
Who is the Clinical Research Associate
Another way to say this is "like a flip of a coin".
What is randomization or randomize
This means neither the researchers nor the participants know which treatment the participants are getting.
What is double-blind.
Without them, you cannot test a new drug or device. You simply won't have clinical research.
Who are the participants or volunteers
These programs offer students an opportunity to differentiate themselves from their peers and expand their opportunities by allowing students to work towards two different, advanced degrees at the same time.
What are dual degree programs (MPAP/MSCR, PhamD/MSCR, MBA/MSCR)

The use of this in clinical trials help clinical researchers determine if a new drug works or does not work.
What is statistics
Sometimes data is collected on these (the data for the sunblock trial was the hand prints).
What are Case Report Forms
This degree opportunity allows students to obtain both a bachelors and a masters of science in clinical research in 5 years versus the traditional 6.
What is the 3+2 program (BSCR/MSCR)
The job of this person is to design the systems that receive the data from the site and help to review and analyze the results for trends and quality issues.
Who is the Data Manager.
This is an undesirable experience that occurs during the clinical trial
What is an adverse event.
Everything in life has these and so does all clinical research. The key to clinical research is minimizing these.
What are risks
This person or team manages the distribution of the study drugs and placebos. They also blind the drugs and placebo from the researchers and participants.
Who is the investigational drug services (IDS) pharmacist/team
This degree is offered through Campbell University's Adult Online Education program. It requires an associates degree and is an 8-week, accelerated program.
