This is a perfect book for a CRA who has just starting working in the field of research. Not only the most important topics that a CRA must know are provided in this book but also it has a very complete Appendix with "hind and tips", resources, sample forms and guidelines.

This and the CRC Guide put a wealth of information at my fingertips when I was a "newbie" to clinical research and needed something practical I could sink my teeth into without feeling like I'd jumped in over my head.

I still refer to these every couple of months for a refresher on best practices.

as a project manager who supports rhe functions of (but doesn't actually do) clinical monitoring research, i thought this would be a great resource book to keep on-hand when various terms or concepts came up that i wanted to get more information about. however, i was extremely disappointed to flip to the back few pages, only to discover that the last section was "about the authors" rather than an index. it should go without saying that this kind of book needs an index - for new CRAs, as well as for people like me who have only minimal exposure to monitoring but need to understand it. what were the authors thinking?? i'm sure it's a good book and it seems chock full of information... but i'm looking for something i can thumb through and find exactly the term or concept i need without having to hunt for it. i'm sending this back and looking for another book that does include an index. if anyone has recommendations, i'm all ears! (and no, my shift key isn't broken... i just never use caps except for acronyms and formal documents.)

I strongly recommend this book for those who work or who are interested in getting into the field of clinical research/clinical trials.

It is a very nice and useful book! Very easy and friendly to read.
