The educational path to becoming a CRA can take many routes and it typically includes at least a Bachelor's degree in a healthcare-related field like biology, health sciences, nursing, or clinical research. While your interviewer gets a good sense of the education you would bring to the ICON plc team, they want to hear you describe why you feel your education has prepared you the best for this CRA role with them.

Walk your interviewer through your educational path and highlight what drove you to pursue that degree. Then, talk in detail about the coursework, project work, and research you conducted during the program that ultimately prepared you for this role at ICON plc.

"As you can see from my resume, I graduated with my Bachelor's degree in Biology and then pursued my Master's in Applied Biotechnology. After high school, this seemed like a great path to get into the medical field and I was highly advised by my older sister to pursue this degree. I firmly believe that this path was the best to pursuing a career as a Clinical Research Associate because of the strong focus on research and interpersonal skills. Here at ICON plc, I know that both of these skillsets will be vital to my success."
