Career Pathways in Clinical Research

​This webinar brings together clinical research professionals actively working across different roles to share practical, real-world insights into building a career in clinical research.

​The speakers will walk through how they entered the industry, the roles they’ve held, and how careers evolve from support positions into core clinical research roles.

​During this session, we will cover:

​Key clinical research career pathways and common entry points

​The difference between support roles and core roles (e.g., CRA, medical monitoring, research operations)

​How to transition into a full CRA or research role with limited prior experience

​Skills, exposure, and experience that matter most in 2026

​This session is ideal for students, healthcare professionals, and early-career researchers looking to start, transition into, or gain clarity on building a sustainable career in clinical research, particularly within the Nigerian and African context.
