How to become an entry level CRA?

The qualifications to become an entry-level CRA include the proper education and training. A master’s or Ph.D. in a natural science, such as biology, chemistry, medicine, or a closely related field, is necessary. As part of your coursework, you need to acquire laboratory skills and learn about experiment design. Many entry-level CRAs have some experience working in labs as part of a work-study, residency, or summer internship. In addition to this, you should have good writing skills because you assist other clinicians in preparing grant proposals and writing up research results.
