About Chapters
SOCRA Chapters are designed to offer colleagues a way to acquire continuing education credit for SOCRA CCRP recertification and to become involved with SOCRA’s educational programming. Such programming is of no cost to SOCRA members.
SOCRA chapters epitomize peer to peer learning for the benefit of continuing education.
A SOCRA chapter’s membership consists of current members of SOCRA who are located within a non-exclusive geographic area defined by the local chapter. The chapter’s “active” membership will then consist of those who are interested in developing and participating in continuing education programs to assist the membership in securing CE related to the regulations and guidelines that govern clinical research. All such educational programs will be of benefit to clinical research professionals and other parties who might be interested in clinical research.
