Despite all of the obstacles, I wouldn’t have traded doing this program in for anything. I am grateful that something like this exists! You can tell that Dr. Locklear and Ms. Lewis care about what they do by how they taught us. They were always there whenever we needed them and tried their best to accommodate during these stressful times. I’ve learned a lot, and I can’t wait to take what I’ve learned and apply it!
I’ve gained a lot of networking opportunities and a better understanding of clinical research and clinical trials, and all my expectations of learning the history of clinical trials and understanding the regulations and guidelines were met. Great program!
I appreciate the care taken to retain underrepresented women in clinical research, which is paramount in this age to ensure diverse trials that accurately represent and advocate for all people to address health disparities. The Clinical Research Sciences Program enabled me to learn the industry and make valuable connections that have been integral to launching my career.
I am thoroughly furnished with the knowledge and skills necessary for a successful career in clinical research. I was able to secure a clinical research coordinator position at a reputable organization barely two months post-graduation. Thank you!
