A Clinical Research Associate (CRA) acts as a bridge between the sponsor of a medical study (like a pharmaceutical company) and the clinics or hospitals running the trial, ensuring clinical trials follow safety rules and regulations

Core Responsibilities

• Site Monitoring: Visit research sites regularly to make sure trials follow the official study plan.
• Data Verification: Check patient records against trial data forms to confirm accuracy.
• Safety Protection: Safeguard the rights, health, and well-being of people taking part in the study.
• Regulatory Compliance: Make sure all site documents, forms, and supplies meet official legal and ethical standards.
• Communication: Train site staff, answer questions, and report any study problems back to the sponsor
