Partial Sampling of Open Positions Shows over 30,000 Jobs. Clinical Research Fastrack Opening Doors to Applicants
The nationwide job demand for Clinical Research Coordinators who run clinical trials is sky high. A recent survey from LinkedIn shows over 30,000 open clinical research positions in just 19 states that were selected for this article.
While jobs are abundant, breaking into this industry can be challenging. The catch 22 in this highly regulated industry is that employers are skeptical of candidates unless they have prior experience in the field. Clinical trials are closely monitored and the coordinators running studies need to be well trained to perform this specialized task. As a result, many job openings lay vacant as the healthcare companies search for qualified candidates. Job applicants are asking themselves, “If all the jobs require experience, how can I get that experience?”
Enter industry leader Clinical Research Fastrack who is disrupting the training industry by offering a program that provides highly relevant experience (even more-so than the leading universities) in a 4-week intensive program. Clinical Research Fastrack combines classroom training with hands on practical experience at a clinical trial site. They also leverage a partnership with leading clinical research recruitment firm to assist their graduates in lining up job interviews. With so many job openings available, Clinical Research Fastrack is providing the clinical trial industry with the missing link to talent at a critical time in this field’s growth.
