New Employee Orientation
Clinical research can be challenging and thorough training is necessary for efficient management of clinical research according to the appropriate local and federal regulations. New employees at SCC must undergo a 4-5 day orientation before starting any research responsibilities. During this mandatory orientation period staff will be expected to complete on-line trainings, attend CCTO and clinic orientation meetings, and review Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Since regulatory requirements change and research presents ongoing challenges, all staff are expected to complete CITI GCP Training, attend annual all-day Clinical Research Forum, review SOPs, attend majority of monthly clinical research educational meetings, and participate in DSMC monitoring twice per year.

Formal training courses for clinical research coordinators are offered by professional organizations and are highly encouraged for all research staff. The Association of Clinical Research Professionals (ACRP) and the Society for Clinical Research Associates (SoCRA) offer certification programs that are rigorous and adds to the clinical research. The Stanford Association of Research Professionals (SARP) is a diverse group of individuals working together to provide a forum for communication, education and networking with the goal of achieving excellence in clinical research.
