"My best piece of advice I would give someone interested in this line of work is to make sure they take a training course recognized by the Association of Clinical Research Professionals or the Society of Clinical Research Associates. I would further explain that it is not required to take a course and be certified to get a job as a CRA, but it helps secure a good job in the long run. Also, there are a lot of courses that are offered that are not recognized by the two associations, which I would steer away from."
