CRA Training Series: Volume 1 - An Overview of Drug Development

The first volume of the 7-part Barnett Clinical Research Associate (CRA) Training Series (2018) and updated to include ICH GCP E6 R2, An Overview of Drug Development is written to introduce new CRAs to the drug development process, while contextualizing it to the role of the CRA. Included are important terms and acronyms encountered by CRAs, as well as what happens before and after a clinical study. This highly engaging manual also includes exercises allowing the reader to apply their new knowledge to their real-world work environment.

This manual is both a stand-alone reference and an introduction to the full series. As a reference, An Overview of Drug Development provides an annotated bibliography as a reference for additional reading and educational materials. Each entry to the bibliography is annotated with critical summaries to help you decide which references to explore.

Each volume can be purchased separately or the full 7-volume series can be purchased for $599.
