Ok. Its not easy becoming a CRA. From a UK perspective. 1. You need a undergraduate in health sciences. 3 years 2. Do a masters in a clinical science. 1 year. 3. In University, work in phlebotomy for example, get some health work under your belt. 4. Post Uni, get yourself a position in any clinical trials post, 12 to 24 months, you'll go on multiple courses for example GCP. Do anything that will highlight your working clinical background. 5. Push your CV/Resume to as many pharmaceuticals, Clinical start ups as possible 6. Get yourself through the door as a junior CRA. After about 6 years , from 18 to 24 Years of age, including your basement clinical research work, you may, with a bit of luck, have that first step as a junior CRA, earning 35k(gbp). Another 2 years will give you the platform to move on, CRA2. Earning 50k(gbp) plus. By the time you are 30 years of age, more openings, more money. Its not easy, no shortcuts, you need to be diligent in your work. There is no room for mistakes. A very rewarding career hopefully awaits. GL
Thanks for making this! I graduate next summer and one of my concerns is that I might not have enough experience/qualifications but this reassured me that I’ll be ok.
Right on time!! Again!! Im studying for healthcare compliance certification right at this moment ive seen many CRA videos but not any as good as this one. You're obviously amazing thank you!
Thank-you for sharing! I've been follow you for years and you have been so helpful. I currently work as an Operations Supervisor with a healthcare company that partners with CMS. Almost done with my Bachelor's and will be moving full steam ahead into the CRA field as part of my plan to get into regulatory affairs. You are invaluable!! Thank you again! Kind Regards, Dominique
Thank u so much for the video! It put a lot of things into perspective! I am a Registered Nurse with an interest in becoming a CRA… ur video was bery helpful❤
I started in regulatory for a academic hospital then became a CRA. I wouldn’t say CRA is a entry level position. Most CRA are former RNs, Study Coordinators, & regulatory personnel who worked at a site such as a clinic or academic institution/hospital.
@@lindseychoi Absolutely however my best advice would be to become a Research Nurse/Study Coordinator at a hospital. Keep in mind most CRAs have BSNs and MSNs and we’re former Research Nurses at the site level.
Your content is fabulous and inspiring. I'm sending a link to my sons school coach to help him with motivating his students to succeed and move forward to a real future. We have talked several times and how he had gotten stuck with finding ways to get the kids moving with few examples of success in the ethnic sectors past sports programs. Finding your channel was exciting, very much appreciated!
@@kyyahabdul thank you so much for responding darling! I’m starting to get burnt out from nursing tho and when i graduate, i just want to do clinical research or educate people on health matters. I’ve always seen myself doing more tht an bedside. Do u think i should do public health instead? I’m thinking of quitting nursing school.
That would be something you get to decide for yourself. I switched from Nursing to Healthcare administration and pivoted in Health-tech consulting. Just like you, I also considered public health, but Healthcare administration aligned more with my goals so I went that route instead.
I have yet to see a CRA job that says 0 user experience Most want 2 years of being a CRC OR STUDY Coordinator. I would like to apply for CRA jobs but I can't live off a CRC salary right now.
Thanks Kyyah but I saw that job already and messaged the recruiter. This is what they told me- Hi Dustin, Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, you do not qualify for a CRA position. We are looking for candidates with at least 2 years of experience as a CRC for consideration. Once you have achieved that, feel free to reach out regarding opportunities!
Thanks for the video but could you please list where you said we could find the CRA job with no initial experience required. I have a BSc and MSc in Medical and Molecular Microbiology. Thank you .

Funny how I entered pharmacovigilance without experience, just graduated from a bachelor in science. And now I have been wanting to move to CRA and the interviews are just not happening 🙈
Hi I love your videos. I discovered you on TikTok. I was in PharmD for 5 years and switched to pharmaceutical science with a minor in molecular biology in order to get into biotech rather than pharmacy. Does this extra pharmacy experience give me any edge in the job market? “Especially for an international student”.
Hi, i am currently pursuing my bachelors in pharmacy from India and i am planning to to study abroad. I was looking into the job roles and would love to be a CRA. could you please guide me to what career path or postgrad course should i go for ?
Hello! I have a double major in Business Administration and Liberal Studies. I currently work from home making outbound calls on behalf of insurance companies getting health records. Do you think I can get into clinical research with my education and experience? I’ve been seeing some jobs in my area only wanting candidates with a nursing degree. New subbie btw 💕🙌🏽
Hi. I'm from Mexico City. I would like to find a job in a CRA. I hope that my level in English is excellent for the next enterprise. Best regards from Mexico.
There is a program at ucsd “Clinical Trials Design and Management”. What would be the abbreviation for this? I want to do research on pay rate and job descriptions but am not finding this specific title. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I am currently a phlebotomist, but I want to get into research for medical school. How do I get a job similar to this with only a bachelor's degree? It is in biology so it is relevant to the position. I have heard of the NIH but I would like to know if there are others out there and if they will accept someone like myself with entry-level research experience. I know this video is more than a year old, but I hope to receive a reply sometime soon.
Interesting… I want to make a career change and get into the health field. I may need to check this out. I’m obtaining a general studies degree. Is there a particular degree that is required to become a CRA?
Did you ever think about being a CRA? In your opinion when it comes to work life balance, also salary and career growth which is the better career path- CRA or Regulatory Affairs?
@@kyyahabdul HI, this video is really helpful. I have a question for you that how can I start a career in clinical research? I am biotechnology graduate and done some certification courses. Recently located in Mexico City.

Good day, please I want to do my masters in health and social care, my bachelors was in English. I just want to know if this degree will enable me get a job in clinical research. Thank you

You can go directly to regulatory without being a CRA

Thank you for this info…I love research and looking more towards CRA
Quick and informative! Thank you!
Thanks for the breakdown you answered a lot of questions. Researchers like acronyms almost as much as the military which makes things confusing 😂
We really do😭😭 if we just defined words it would all be so much easier
Thanks for this video. I’ve been working in a preclinical CRO for many years and am very interested in moving into clinical.

Fellow CRA here try companies with academies. They tend to take people with zero experience and train you.
