Research careers can deliver a lifetime of professional rewards. Clinical research professionals have the opportunity to make a difference in patients' lives and be part of the next discovery.

The clinical research industry has been facing a workforce shortage. We need people who are motivated and trained to do the job. While people have heard about becoming a medical assistant, a nurse, or a doctor, there is a lack of awareness about clinical research career options. There is a dire need to bring awareness about the clinical research career and growth opportunities. There are many career paths within the research field: from clinical research coordinator and clinical research associate to, project leader or manager allowing you to choose where you work; at a research site, a clinical research organization, or a pharmaceutical company.

At New Life Clinical Research Institute, we provide workforce training and help you explore entry-level positions in the research industry. We encourage recent graduates and healthcare professionals through outreach, free webinars, and community events to consider clinical research as a career choice that offers professional growth and work-life balance. Bringing people with transferrable skills from different backgrounds on board is vital to diversify the workforce.

Our trainees who have learned the fundamentals of clinical research and have acquired job-ready skills through externships can explore entry-level positions that could otherwise be difficult to break through without having any research skills at all.

We offer scholarships so no potential motivated and talented candidates are left behind, who are eager to learn and get into this exciting clinical research field but have limited financial resources.

Our team of highly qualified research professionals provides guidance on safe, ethical, and high-quality clinical research. This training program is to grow and diversify the clinical research workforce and take the training opportunity to minorities along with providing them with support for resume building and interview preparation.

We encourage you to explore career opportunities in clinical research and learn more about the support available through New Life Clinical Research Institute. You are provided with the tools, resources, support, and guidance you need to succeed!
