Master of Science in Pharmacology and Toxicology - Clinical Trials Coordination

Wright State University

The Clinical Trials Coordination concentration provides students a solid foundation in clinical research focusing on the protection of research participants’ welfare, improving global health, and coordinating academic, government, and industry research studies. It is based on the Joint Task Force for Clinical Trial Competency (JTF) domains. The widely inclusive coursework furnishes students with an excellent foundation for those who wish to sit for professional certifications through the Society of Clinical Research Associates (SoCRA) or Association of Clinical Research Professionals (ACRP). Students have the opportunity to assist in clinical research trials with human subjects at one of our internship sites around the Dayton area. Students are randomly assigned to an internship site when PTX 9200 is scheduled in the last semester. With this primary educational training, students will gain hands-on real-world experience applying the principles of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) to active industry and federally funded trials. This concentration is appropriate for post-baccalaureate and post-master’s students from various academic fields whose career interests may include laboratory management, principal investigation, or clinical trial coordination in either the public or private sector.
