Research analyzing remote trial monitoring found it reduced interaction between clinical research associates (CRAs) and clinical research coordinators (CRCs), with authors arguing that targeted on-site training could improve coordination. The article describes clinical trial staff operating under different organizational cultures: CRAs often work in sponsor-driven, metrics-focused environments, while CRCs tend to prioritize participant care at sites. The authors say the reduction in direct CRA–CRC contact—driven by increased adoption of remote monitoring and risk-based monitoring—can impede communication. They recommend experiential training programs that bring CRAs and CRCs together to learn each other’s workflows and responsibilities in context. In a test of the approach, the researchers described an on-site experiential training program involving Teikyo University Hospital, Bristol-Myers Squibb K.K., and the University of Tokyo, designed to foster mutual understanding rather than only transferring GCP or protocol content.
