What is a Clinical Research Associate?
CRA’s work closely with pharmaceutical companies, clinical contractors and hospitals, ensuring adherence to regulations and principles from phases II-IV of a clinical trial. They work closely together with our customers to tackle complex issues that can improve the health of patients and the care they receive.
CRAs are often referred to as Monitors and this is the key difference between a CRA and a clinical research coordinator (CRC). While CRAs are responsible for overseeing a trial and ensuring compliance, CRCs see to patient consenting, identifying patients and reporting adverse effects in clinical trials.
FQHC
A Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) is a community-based health care organization that provides comprehensive primary care and support services, including preventive and dental care, to underserved populations regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay, and they are often called safety net providers.
