The drug industry is evolving and clinical trials are becoming more complex. How do CRAs in a large global company keep their skills up to date? Recognizing that large group meetings are costly and virtual training feels impersonal,Covance决定通过称为Clik的创新型号来解决这一挑战：国家领导赋予知识。
With selected leaders identified from each of the 70+ countries that Covance serves, the CLIK program brings CRAs face-to-face to share their experiences, gain new knowledge and then serve as training representatives for peers in their own regional teams.
Enabling critical thinking
CLIK课程不是标准培训。Clik是通过在所有商业领域收集主题专家的投入制定的，重点是如何发展批判性思维技能，并促进至关重要的谈话。
培训的参与者讨论如何定义和应用CRAS作为网站经理的职责，准备CRA以获得更加富有成效和有效的监测访问，并整合最佳实践以快速识别问题，认识到趋势并实施适当的决议。
建立团队精神
即使Clik的参与者在这些集约会议上涵盖了大量的材料，格式也非常互动，通过讨论和头脑风暴强调教学和更多的团队合作。
“At CLIK, we shared a lot of experiences,” said Jennifer Coelho Martins,临床研究副学会。“这是与我的董事会同事见面并发展团队精神的好方法。”
This genuine camaraderie was also noticed by Bernhard Dodell, Head of Clinical Trial Operations, Europe-South, Middle East and North Africa as he visited several meetings. “The teams are really having a great time, laughing and engaging with one another,” he said.
“There is a great deal of connectedness that occurs when everyone is going through the same program,” explained Dodell. “And yet, the country heads who are leading the sessions can tailor their programs based on cultural differences and language preferences. It’s an ideal approach for a growing, global company likeCovance。”
Making smart investments
管理许多角色参与临床trial process isn’t easy as laws and regulations shift, stressing the importance of equipping CRAs with the right tools to ensure clinical trials run smoothly.
“CLIK represents a major investment in training – one that we know will reap substantial returns,” said Rosalinda Piccolo, Associate Director, Global Learning, Business Operations Management. “CLIK training imparts vital knowledge, enables our employees to engage with their country heads and provides a forum for them to connect with each other – even those that work quite remotely.”
随着培训和职业发展作为考卡施的持续举措，CLIK计划将继续将CRA领导人共同分享策略，讨论问题，并最终提高临床试验中的行为和效率。了解更多信息life at Covanceand how you can grow in your career as a CRA, please visit our CRA careers website atcovance.com./CRACareers。
