The field of clinical research is thriving in Hawai‘i. In fact, upon the successful completion of the 3-month Clinical Research Professional Certificate Program, you’ll enter one of the fastest growing fields in the U.S. (currently 14% annually).

The Clinical Research Professional Certificate Program is designed to train Clinical Research Associates (CRAs) to work in the UH Cancer Center, affiliated hospitals, or at other academic centers in support of clinical trials. Taught by UH Cancer Center faculty, the program provides individuals with the knowledge of oncology clinical trials coordination, basic statistical and epidemiologic methods, human subjects research, and protocol development.

There will be a Free Informational Zoom Webinar hosted by Dr. Naoto T. Ueno, Director, University of Hawai‘i Cancer Center, for interested students to learn more about the new and innovative Clinical Research Professional Certificate Program at the University of Hawai‘i Cancer Center.
