APEX France- Clinical Research Associate

Join the APEX CRA Program in France! Are you a recent graduate with 1 year or less of clinical experience? Did you study in the life sciences, data sciences, data analytics, clinical, or nursing area? Please note: You must have the right to live and work in France without sponsorship with a November 25th start date. The Accelerated Program of Education, Exposure, and Experience for CRAs (APEX CRA) provides foundational clinical research training - including project and system experience - to new CRA hires who are recent college graduates with less than a year of monitoring experience. Through this program, you'll transform into a credible and experienced CRA I. As you progress, APEX CRAs perform billable project tasks to support the CRAs and Clinical Operations Leads (COLs) with a focus in three developmental areas: Project Support, Initiation CRA support, and Site Facing support. You'll be required to complete the ACRP Entry Level Knowledge Assessment and are enrolled in a 1-year membership to the ACRP. You'll also work closely with CRAs to gain exposure to and experience with the CRA role and its responsibilities across a period of three to six months. During this experience, you'll have the opportunity to practically apply in-class concepts with day-to-day application by working with clinical systems including Clinical Trial Management Systems (CTMS), Electronic Data Capture, Safety Information Systems, and TMF platforms, and benefit from both instructor-led trainings and ongoing coaching and support of Line Managers and COLs. Finally, APEX CRAs accompany CRAs for observational and co-monitoring support on-site or during remote visits, combining learning for the APEX CRAs and workload aid for their CRA colleagues. Upon completion of the program, you're well-positioned to independently function within the CRA role and to immediately begin successful monitoring!
