The Campbell Program
The C ampbell Approach
Clinical research is a branch of medical science
that determines the safety and effectiveness of
medications, devices, diagnostic products, and
treatment regimens intended for human use. It
is also concerned with investigating the
influence of population and biological
diversity as well as disease states on responses
to treatment. The results of clinical research
studies (especially clinical trials) are essential
for gaining approval for marketing new
medications and devices or new indications of
existing products from regulatory agencies
throughout the world.
The Department of Clinical Research is located on Campbell
University’s main campus in Buies Creek, NC, only 45 minutes from
the Research Triangle Park (RTP). RTP is one of the world's largest and
most dynamic science parks. Many companies involved in clinical
research are located here, and the College has excellent relationships
with world leaders in their respective fields.
Clinical Research students have access to high quality video recordings
of their classes as well as any presented materials from anywhere in the
world via the internet within hours of classes taking place. Class
recordings can be viewed as many times as needed and are available to
all enrolled students for the duration of the semester, which services as
a great resource for students when studying their coursework.
The objective of the major is to prepare
students for distinguished careers in clinical
research. Graduates of this program are
expected to play a wide variety of roles in the
clinical research and drug development
process. The major provides students with the
didactic and experiential training necessary for
the development of diverse careers as clinical
researchers in contract research organizations
(CROs),
pharmaceutical
companies,
government agencies, or academia. The
growing demand for high-quality clinical
monitors and study coordinators suggests that
students from this program will receive
excellent
employment
opportunities
immediately following graduation.
The C ampbell Faculty
Clinical Research 4 + 1 Program
Campbell is a student-oriented university,
which means we make students our top priority.
Interacting inside and outside the classroom
with our faculty is a plus. All faculty members
maintain an open door policy and encourage
you along your educational journey.
A truly unique opportunity is available to Campbell University Clinical
Research undergraduates. The usual period of study for both the
Bachelor’s and the Master’s degree is six years. Through the 4+1
Program, the student, with his or her advisor, plans a five-year program
of study. It is important to note that there is no provision for obtaining
both degrees in a period shorter than five years. The program is
intended for selected students for whom the Master’s degree is
sufficient preparation for their career goals, is desirable as a goal in
itself, or is viewed as additional preparation before pursuing a doctorate
or a professional degree.
Many of our professors are also practicing
within their discipline in the field of clinical
research. They routinely present papers at
major national forums and publish their
research in many scientific journals.
