Who is Medical Research Management Inc. (MRM)?

MRM is one of the nation's leading providers of clinical research education and customized training to leading companies in the pharmaceutical, medical device and biotechnology industries, as well as to CROs, research sites and universities. Many companies use MRM’s e-learning courses to train new employees or to provide ongoing GCP/ICH compliance training.

Since 1999, MRM has trained thousands of clinical research professionals, from individuals beginning a new career path in the clinical research industry to experienced professionals seeking to expand their knowledge and skills. MRM provides customized training with a global perspective to leading companies in the pharmaceutical, biologic and medical device industries. Courses can be tailored to address the American, European and Japanese regulatory environments. Customized training programs have included GCP-compliant data management, project management, auditing, advanced monitoring and early phase clinical trials.

MRM’s signature program is its Fundamentals of Clinical Research 140-Hour CRA Certificate Program, designed for students without previous experience in clinical research. Unlike other courses that merely define compliance in terms of regulations, MRM focuses on real-world applications and hands-on remediation of compliance issues. All monitoring and auditing programs are based on the MRM Step Method™ which uses custom tools to standardize the monitoring process and ensure GCP compliance. Contributing to the uniqueness of the MRM training program is that it has been developed and used extensively by experts in the clinical research industry. MRM’s affiliate company, CRA Solutions Inc., is a full-service CRO that uses the step method every day in clinical trial rescue, auditing, and monitoring. With use in the CRO, the developers are able to continually review, refine and update tools as the industry evolves and changes.
