About the Campbell Adult and Online Education (AOE) Clinical Research Program
Clinical research is the branch of medical science that determines the safety and effectiveness of therapies, medications, biological agents, vaccines, and medical devices intended for human use. Clinical researchers work toward the goals of advancing medical knowledge and improving healthcare.
Clinical research is not lab-based, it is people-centered and covers the entire spectrum of safety and effective usage. Clinical researchers work with products before they are prescribed and administered to the general public to determine their efficacy and safety. These researchers also study the use of medications, vaccines, medical devices, and other products after they are in use by the general public to monitor any new side effects or potential new applications.
Campbell AOE’s program is one of only two undergraduate clinical research degree programs in North Carolina. The program is designed to train professionals to enter one of the fastest-growing health-related professions today — there is a great demand for high-quality clinical monitors and study coordinators.
In the clinical research program, you will learn about regulations governing clinical trials , data management, and how to manage and monitor clinical trials . During your clinical research training , you will study the mechanisms of disease and the impact on our bodies and learn about how diseases are spread and how to determine the populations at risk. In the program curriculum, you will also learn about and examine the psychological and social impacts of disease.
