Behind every new clinical trial is a team of individuals trained to interview, collect data, enter data, monitor programs, and ensure everything adheres to government mandates and industry standards.
In the mid-1990's, the City of Medicine was in dire need of clinical trials professionals due to the boom in clinical research from institutions like GlaxoSmithKline, Duke Medical Center, and UNC Hospitals.
Demand for jobs skyrocketed and Durham Tech was ready to respond.
Lee Ferrell, a board member with the local chapter of the Society of Clinical Research Associates, said there were thousands of trials going on in the area and the need for comprehensive training was great. At the time, the Society was providing continuing education programs through Duke University Medical Center but could not keep up with demand.
Ferrell approached Durham Tech in 1996 with the idea of starting a two-year degree program for clinical trials, and in 1998, the program was approved.

The addition of a law simulation lab and a mock courtroom elevates the program’s commitment and ability to deliver experiential learning experiences.
