The clinical research workforce crisis threatens to undermine the entire drug development ecosystem. This session will discuss the glaring disconnect between the visionary discourse on how to revolutionize the clinical research enterprise and the sober recognition that operationalization of any such vision rests on the shoulders of a workforce that’s in dire straits. It will feature a variety of industry leaders who will frame the issue and share lessons, solutions, and workforce development models that can be emulated globally to help build the next generation of clinical researchers--diverse and research ready.

Learning Objectives

Discuss the extent of the clinical research workforce crisis, including a diminishing pool of experienced clinical research professionals a ‘war for talent’ that is driving high and unsustainable turnover; Identify factors contributing to this crisis; Describe promising steps that can help with future workforce development.
