Interested in Coordinator Training or Certification?

We are developing a "Research Coordinator University" for January 2010.  This 2-day intensive course will include many subjects to assist Coordinators in their everyday jobs.

We are also considering adding a 3rd day for SOCRA to offer certification as a Certified Clinical Research Professional. The certification would cost each individual around $270.

If you are interested in attending one or both of the offerings, or if you are interested in teaching or mentoring please email Sonja Dewing.
