CLINICAL TRIAL ADMINISTRATOR (CTA) BEGINNER

Clinical Trial Administrator (CTA) is a trained professional who helps to facilitate a clinical trial. As a CTA you will primarily manage the administrative aspects of clinical trials for every stage of the process.

Excellent course! A lot of material was covered over 3 days. I found all aspects interesting, especially the history and reform of clinical trials to modern times. I learned more about the CTA role than I already knew.
