The CRA Role Is Changing-Are You Ready?

Listen to the Podcast That’s Leading the Conversation

The last decade has transformed the clinical research landscape, and nowhere is that more evident than in the evolving Clinical Research Associate (CRA) role. Once known as the “road warriors” of clinical trials, today’s CRAs face a new reality: decentralized trials, remote data collection, and a surge in trial complexity have fundamentally changed what monitoring and managing studies mean.

But with these changes come new challenges. CRAs report record levels of overwhelm, overwork, and burnout as they juggle multiple projects, tight deadlines, and ever-increasing documentation demands. The pressure is mounting, and the industry is searching for solutions.
