Clinical Research Coordinators(CRC) Certification

The Association of Clinical Research Professionals(ACRP) has developed a certification examination for CRCs. Certification is increasingly recognized by the pharmaceutical industry as an indication of professionalism. The examination is offered twice a year, in the spring and fall at select locations around the country.

The Office for Human Subject Protection (OHSP) promotes the benefits of certification. To date, over 130 University of Rochester CRCs have received certification. The OHSP reimburses the examination fee for all employees that receive a passing grade on the examination. In addition, the office reimburses the employees re-certification fee every two years upon completion of continuing education time requirements.

The next exam will be held in March 2012. Applications will be accepted in January through mid February.

The Application and the CRC Certification Guide can be found on the ACRP web site (http://www.acrpnet.org).
