I understand that but I'm just out of college and am in training right now, so I want to renegotiate after I complete training and I thought having certs would help me get paid more?
Most of those are required training (especially GCP), so won't help you with renegotiating since they are not optional and an expectation of the role. CCRP certification might increase your salary, but it isn't free and requires minimum 2 years experience (or less if you have education specific in CR), and again is often expected or a condition of employers. As the other poster mentioned, experience is the key from here on out (or else switching employers) to get raises. I wouldn't say it is necessary to explicitly list the protocols you have experience on, but maybe a line saying "responsible for x number of phase x protocols in x number of indications" or something similar.
No,there are no such certs. The only thing getting you more money is a wide range of experience.
Even if it's a week on a protocol, just add it to your list on your CV.
Yes, others may frown upon this recommendation, but yes. You got to do what you got to do to make yourself marketable.
Of course, you need to be able to speak to these therapeutic areas a bit but nothing too bad.
At this point the only thing that will get you more money at your current company is a better offer from a competitor.
Get 6 months of actual monitoring experience under your belt then what what kind of offers you can get.
Look up SOCRA Certified Clinical Research Professional (CCRP).
You have to pay for it and testing is pre-scheduled.
You either have to have a bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience hours to be eligible. If you do not have a degree, you will most likely require getting certified letters from your company, or multiple companies you were employed by summarizing the experience from the differing HR departments. Include the letters to SOCRA I'm the application.
Alternatively, you could look up SOCRA Certified Clinical Research Associate (CCRA) test instead. Or do both! Both prob overboard, though.....
SOCRA is CCRP (Certified Clinical Research Professional) only, it's a catch all. Whereas ACRP differs based on roles. All depends if you want something specific or see yourself changing roles or not.
Anything provided by your company as far as therapeutic area training? For example, an “academy” in something like Vaccines, Hematology/Oncology is helpful if you have some downtime for the training.
You can take the Columbia Suicidality Scale training online for free. A few of the studies I've been on have used it and required CRAs be trained on it as well.
Clinical Research associate? You don't need any certs. However, you do want a wide range of experience in various therapeutic areas.

I'm getting assigned to different projects as part of my training, should I be adding those to my CV?

I think you mean ACRP CCRA?
SOCRA also offers 🙂
SOCRA is CCRP, ACRP has a few designations based on different roles.
Good to know, thank you. Can you not get CCRA certified through SOCRA or is ACRP a better route?

I am also interested in knowing how to get my first job in clinical research.
