The Association of Clinical Research Professionals (ACRP) today announces CSL as the newest member of ACRP’s Partners Advancing the Clinical Research Workforce™.
When the ACRP Certified Professional (ACRP-CP®) certification launched in 2017, it made available to the clinical research field a rigorously developed and validated test leading to a credential highlighting the skills of professionals whose job roles do not easily stay within the boundaries of traditional clinical research coordinators (CRCs), clinical research associates (CRAs), or principal investigators.
The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare promises transformative impacts across various medical domains, "precision medicine" being one of them. However, the surge in AI technologies comes with notable challenges, including concerns over patient data privacy, the unpredictability of AI in clinical scenarios, and potential breaches linked with extensive data sharing.
As applied to the clinical research enterprise, “cultural humility” is a continuous process of self-orientation toward caring for others based on self-reflection and assessment, appreciation of others’ experiences, and expertise on the social and cultural context of their lives, with an openness to establishing strong relationships within the research team and with study subjects.
Adoption of technology by clinical trial sites has increased significantly over the past decade, especially amongst organizations that perform more than five research studies annually. Sponsors and CROs looking for process automation, higher quality study delivery, and transparency into study status are also investing in technology related to such activities and features as essential document collection, learning management systems, eConsent, patient recruitment tracking, and many more.
