About this session
Clinical research represents a robust profession with many enticing factors: advancement opportunities, diverse skill application, good pay, and the potential to play a significant role in improving healthcare. However, development of a sustainable, diverse, and talented workforce has several known barriers. Among these are limited awareness of clinical research career and training opportunities compounded by a persistent catch-22 requiring prior work experience for entry-level positions. Here we explore a few of the innovative new models that are tackling these critical issues. From clinical research competency training in high schools, equity-focused internships, employer-based apprenticeship programs, and city-site partnerships to support economic development through CRP training and placement, employers and educators are using creativity and collaboration to reduce roadblocks and forge new pathways into the clinical research workforce.
