Objective

To investigate and analyze the current state of professional training for clinical research coordinators (CRCs), explore the differences in CRC cultivation between clinical trial institutions and site management organizations (SMOs), and provide references for optimizing the CRC training system.

Methods

A total of 613 active CRCs was conducted using convenience sampling method and quota sampling method. The questionnaire includes basic information, induction teaching methods, training frequency, training content, training satisfaction and training needs, etc. Data were collected by the ‘questionnaire star’, statistically analyzed using SAS 9.3 software, and differences were compared using the chi-square test.

Results

There were significant differences between institutions and SMO companies in the education, professional background and working years of CRC (All P<0.05). Institutional CRC generally has a higher degree and more nursing background, while SMO company CRC contains a certain proportion of people with non-medical background. In terms of training, institutional CRC prefers moderate frequency training (6 to 12 times per year), while SMO CRC prefers more frequent high frequency training (more than 12 times per year). SMO company has a high utilization rate of online training, and institutional CRC has some deficiencies in communication skills training. Overall, the CRC is relatively satisfied with the existing training system.

Conclusion

Institutions and SMO companies should develop reasonable training plans according to their own characteristics and reduce unnecessary training burden to improve the work efficiency and clinical trial quality of CRC. It is recommended to adopt more offline training forms, and to conduct targeted training according to the individual needs of CRC.
