Hello everyone!

Hoping anyone could help me with take up of "Clinical Research Associate (CRA)" training, in USA.

I had completed my Masters in Biotechnology  in 2011 and since then I didn't work in any pharmaceutical or biotech industry because of my visa issues. But now, I am eligible for employment in US on my work visa and would like to choose  'Clinical Research Associate' as my career.

My question is,  "Do I need to have to prior experience in any of the biotech or pharma Industry, in order to get trained as CRA ??? OR Can I directly approach them for CRA training??"

Thanks in advance.

Izzie!

Do you have an offer for training in hand? If it is merit based then you might need some experience/exposure prior to application.
