Who this is for

This cohort is built for career changers.

If you recognise yourself in any of these, this cohort was designed with you in mind.

You're outside the industry looking in

You keep seeing clinical research roles you find interesting and cannot tell whether you are allowed to apply.

You've been told you need a healthcare degree

You do not. Clinical research teams are built from many professions, and this program shows you which parts of yours count.

You're re-entering the workforce

After a career break, a relocation or a redundancy, and you want a field with a real progression ladder.

You already work near clinical research

In a site, a lab, a clinic or an administrative role, and you want to understand the wider study and move up.

You have applied and heard nothing

Your experience is real but your resume does not speak the language a clinical research hiring manager reads for.

You want to use AI properly

Not as a gimmick, but as part of how you do clinical research work and run your job search.

The entry requirement

No healthcare background required.

Clinical research teams need more than medical knowledge. They need people who understand projects, operations, quality, data, documentation and timelines.

You may already have transferable experience. Clinical Pivot teaches you how it fits inside clinical research.

  • No clinical research experience required
  • No healthcare background required

Skill transposition

What that looks like in practice.

Week 7 does this for your own background, line by line. These are conversions participants have already made.

The program journey

7 weeks, from outsider to interview-ready.

Each week, what you will be able to do by the end of it — and where AI turns work that used to need a whole team into something one person can lead.

Select a week to see the detail.

Part I · Foundations

Week 1 — How Clinical Trials Actually Work

Learn how a trial is structured and who owns what.

BuildYour own working reference for the industry, built the way you think.

Why it mattersYou stop guessing which roles you could actually do.

How AI is used this week

Dense regulatory documents are where beginners drown and managers stay calm. You learn to put AI in front of them so you arrive at the meeting already understanding what matters.

Part II · Setting a Study Up

Week 2 — Reading a Study Before It Starts

Learn how to read a protocol and spot operational risk.

BuildA feasibility assessment you can show and talk through.

Why it mattersThis is the thinking that separates a coordinator from a manager.

How AI is used this week

This is where AI changes what one person can do. You learn to pressure-test a study design in an afternoon — the kind of analysis that used to need a team, and the kind that gets you noticed.

Part II · Setting a Study Up

Week 3 — Getting a Study Approved and Open

Learn what has to happen before a site sees a single participant.

BuildA complete, reviewed start-up pack.

Why it mattersStart-up is where a lot of career changers get their first role.

How AI is used this week

You learn to use AI to review consent documents and compare sites in a fraction of the usual time, then check its work — because the checking is the part employers pay for.

Part III · Running a Study

Week 4 — Finding and Keeping Participants

Learn how recruitment and retention are planned, and rescued.

BuildA recruitment and retention plan for a live study.

Why it mattersEnrolment performance is the first question in most trial-management interviews.

How AI is used this week

AI can read through unstructured health records and surface who might be eligible in minutes. You learn to direct that work and interpret it — which is a manager’s job, not an assistant’s.

Part III · Running a Study

Week 5 — Watching the Study, Keeping People Safe

Learn how monitoring, safety and data quality connect.

BuildA full monitoring write-up with your risk findings.

Why it mattersThis is the day-to-day of CRA and CTM work.

How AI is used this week

You learn how AI spots patterns across many sites that a person reading one report would miss — the shift from checking a site to overseeing a portfolio, which is exactly the shift into management.

Part IV · Closing a Study

Week 6 — Closing a Study Cleanly

Learn what a clean close-out requires, and why it gets audited.

BuildA reconciled, inspection-ready file.

Why it mattersProject managers are judged on how studies end, not how they start.

How AI is used this week

AI shortens the grind of finding gaps and loose ends, so you spend your attention on the judgment calls. Knowing which is which is what makes someone senior.

Career Launchpad

Week 7 — Getting Hired

Learn how to position your background and answer scenario questions.

BuildYour resume, your story, and an answer bank you keep.

Why it mattersYou leave with a plan, not a certificate.

How AI is used this week

You practise against an AI interviewer playing a CRO lead, and you learn to explain your own AI workflow to a hiring manager — which almost no other candidate can do.

Training work products

You won't just learn it.
You'll build it.

Across the 7 weeks you produce a set of practical documents and trackers — the same kinds of artifacts clinical research teams work from every day.

Printed project plans, trackers and performance dashboards laid out on a desk
Structured, practical documents — the kind clinical teams work from every day.
  • Site Feasibility Tracker
  • Study Start-Up Tracker
  • Delegation of Authority Log
  • Informed Consent Form Review
  • Monitoring Checklist
  • Query Tracker
  • Site Performance Dashboard
  • Risk & Issue Log
  • Monitoring Visit Report
  • Study Project Plan
  • Sponsor / Leadership Update
  • Reusable AI Workflows

These are training work products built during the program for learning and portfolio purposes. They are not real sponsor deliverables and are not presented as paid work experience.

AI + clinical research

AI is built into how you learn.

AI runs through the whole program, not one bonus module. You use it the way a working clinical research professional would — to get to a first draft faster, then to check it.

01

Learn

Understand the clinical research task well enough to judge an answer.

02

Build

Use AI to draft the tracker, the summary, the plan or the update.

03

Check

Test it against the protocol, the guidance and what the study actually requires.

04

Improve

Correct what is wrong and keep the workflow for next time.

Read faster than anyone expects

Clinical research runs on long, dense documents. You learn to get through them and arrive at the meeting already knowing what matters — which is how a manager shows up.

See across a whole study

Spotting a pattern across many sites is what separates overseeing a portfolio from checking one site. AI makes that possible for one person. Judging what it found is you.

Walk into the interview ready

You rehearse with an AI interviewer playing a CRO lead until the answers are yours, then learn to explain how you work with AI — something almost no other candidate can do.

The tech edge

Most candidates cannot explain how they use AI. You will be able to.

Knowing the regulations is the entry ticket. Showing a hiring manager how you use AI to shorten a start-up timeline — without letting it make the judgment calls — is what separates two candidates with the same certificate.

AI can help create the first draft. You still need to know whether the answer is right.

The long view

Your first role is not the destination.

Clinical research is a global industry. The work moves from supporting one study, to overseeing sites, to running trials, to leading operations.

Scope grows. So does responsibility.

  • A global industry

    Trials run across every major market, and the standards travel with them.

  • A defined progression

    Not a flat job title. Each rung widens what you are responsible for.

  • Projects, people, decisions

    The work is coordination and judgment, not one narrow technical task.

  • Pharma, biotech and CROs

    Three kinds of employer, with different entry points into the same field.

  • Remote and hybrid roles exist

    Depending on the function and the employer. Others are site-based.

  • A regulated field

    The bar to entry is real, which keeps the candidate pool smaller than most.

With experience, some clinical research career paths progress into six-figure management and leadership roles.

Compensation and work arrangements vary by employer, location and experience. Clinical Pivot does not guarantee employment, a specific title or a salary.

Career pathways

Where the career can grow.

Clinical research is a ladder, not a single door. This is the shape of it — and people enter at different rungs.

  1. Clinical Trial / Study Support

    Clinical Trial Assistant · Study Coordinator · Clinical Operations Support

  2. Clinical Research Associate

  3. Senior CRA / Lead CRA

  4. Clinical Trial Manager

  5. Clinical Project Manager

  6. Clinical Operations Leadership

People may enter this pathway at different points depending on their experience, qualifications and employer requirements.

How the 7 weeks work

Every Saturday, the same rhythm.

Sessions run live on Saturdays at 5 PM MST / 6 PM CST / 7 PM EST. 1 module per week, taught in real time, with work to do between sessions.

Before the session

Come with questions

Short preparation so the live time is spent on the hard parts, not the definitions.

In the session

Learn and practice live

The concept, then a realistic clinical-trial scenario worked through together.

After the session

Build the work product

You produce the tracker, log, checklist or plan — with AI, then checked properly.

Throughout

Direct founder support

Ask your questions and get them answered, and have your resume and interview preparation worked on with you.

Clinical Pivot Elevate · after the live training

The training is 7 weeks.
The support continues for 6 months.

Six months of monthly group accountability sessions to review your progress, troubleshoot what is slowing you down, answer questions and keep your applications and interview preparation moving.

Job-search accountability

Staying consistent with the transition plan you built during the program.

Application tracking

Keeping sight of what you have applied for, and what came back.

Interview-practice accountability

Continuing to rehearse answers as real interviews come up.

Progress check-ins

Regular points to look honestly at what is working and what is not.

Peer accountability

The rest of your cohort, going through the same search at the same time.

Staying consistent

The part nobody talks about, and the part that decides most outcomes.

This is accountability support, not job placement — Clinical Pivot does not place participants into roles or guarantee employment.

Testimonials

Different careers.
The same pivot.

Education. Engineering. Language arts. Accounting. Psychology. Years at home. What they shared was a willingness to learn how clinical research works — and how their own experience could translate.

In their own words

Participants who arrived from outside clinical research — and what changed for them.

If a scheduled payment remains outstanding, Clinical Pivot AI app access and related program benefits may be paused until the account is brought current. Live training runs inside the app, so app access and program access go together.

In Canada? All prices are in US dollars. If you need a payment arrangement, contact us before enrolling to request a payment link. Arrangements are considered individually, must be approved and confirmed in writing, and are not guaranteed.

Questions

Before you enroll.

Yes. You can enquire anytime. Classes follow scheduled cohort dates, and we will confirm the available options.

Solo is rolling admission. You can enroll any day and start as soon as your account is activated.

Elevate runs in live cohorts with fixed dates and 15 seats. The next cohort starts October 10, 2026.

Late entry may be considered where suitable catch-up arrangements and places are available.

Contact us before paying so we can confirm whether joining the current cohort is appropriate.

Joining late does not restart the live cohort. Any missed learning and the remaining live schedule must be agreed before you enrol.

Catch-up arrangements are not fixed. If late entry is being considered, we will discuss exactly what catching up would involve, and agree it with you, before anything is approved.

You can still enquire about the next available start. Future dates will be shared when they are confirmed.

No. Most participants arrive from outside the industry, and the program starts from how clinical trials actually run — so nothing is assumed.

Week one begins working out which parts of the experience you already have are the parts clinical research recognises.

No. Clinical research teams are built from many professions: project coordination, data, documentation, quality, operations and participant-facing work.

What matters is understanding how a trial runs and being able to show where your existing experience fits.

Yes. Clinical Pivot teaches the clinical research context and helps participants identify relevant transferable experience.

CRA, CTM, CPM, clinical operations and related clinical research pathways.

Yes. AI is used throughout the program for practical clinical research and career workflows.

Yes, in Elevate. Sessions run live on Saturdays at 5 PM MST / 6 PM CST / 7 PM EST, from October 10 to November 21, 2026.

Solo is self-paced inside the Clinical Pivot AI Study App and does not include the live cohort.

The cohort is built for participants in Canada and the United States. Sessions run live on Saturday evenings North American time, and all prices are in US dollars.

If you are somewhere else and still interested, message us before you enrol rather than after — so we can check the timing works for you first.

You get that week’s slides and study materials, and everything stays in the Clinical Pivot AI Study App so you can work through it in your own time.

Sessions are not recorded. They are live so that questions get answered in the room, which is the part a recording cannot give you. If you know in advance you will miss one, message us beforehand and we will make sure you have what you need to stay with the cohort.

Clinical Pivot Solo is US$1,500, paid in full. Clinical Pivot Elevate is US$3,500, paid in full or in 3 installments of US$1,500, US$1,000 and US$1,000.

All prices are in US dollars. Both programs include 12 months of access to the Clinical Pivot AI Study App and a résumé/CV written by Dr. Funkie Tee.

No. Clinical Pivot is training and mentorship, not an accredited certification or a licensing body.

You receive a Certificate of Completion when you pass the final assessment. It is not a professional licence, certification or accreditation.

No. All sales are final and Clinical Pivot does not offer refunds.

This is a digital program. Your access to the Clinical Pivot AI Study App begins when your account is activated after payment, so tuition is non-refundable once paid — including if you later choose not to attend the live sessions.

If you choose the Elevate installment option, you remain responsible for the full balance. If you are unsure which program is right for you, message us on WhatsApp before you enroll.

Elevate can be paid in 3 installments: US$1,500 at enrollment, US$1,000 before Week 4 begins and US$1,000 before Week 7 begins. Solo is pay-in-full only.

If you are in Canada and need a payment arrangement, contact us before enrolling to request a payment link. Arrangements are considered individually, must be approved and confirmed in writing, and are not guaranteed.

Yes, within 30 days of enrolling in Solo. What you paid for Solo is credited toward Elevate, so you pay only the difference. Message us on WhatsApp to upgrade.

The upgrade price is US$3,500 minus what you actually paid for Solo: US$2,000 if you paid US$1,500, or US$2,500 if you paid US$1,000. The upgrade is paid in one payment; installments and discount codes do not apply to upgrades.

After 30 days, Elevate is the full price. Elevate is capped at 15 seats per cohort, so an upgrade depends on a seat being available.

Yes, in Elevate. Six months of monthly group accountability sessions review your progress, troubleshoot what is slowing you down, answer questions and keep your applications and interview preparation moving.

They begin once you have completed the 7-week training and your balance is paid in full.

No. Clinical Pivot provides training, practical experience, mentorship, career positioning and interview preparation — but employment outcomes depend on factors including prior experience, employer requirements, location and the hiring market.

Entry level depends on prior experience and employer requirements. Clinical Pivot teaches the foundation and also shows how trial-management and project-management roles work, so participants understand the career pathway.

Elevate is capped at 15 seats per cohort. Solo is self-paced and does not include the live cohort.
