About Chicken Soup for the Busy Coordinator

What is Chicken Soup?

The Clinical Research Coordinator Society (CRCS) is aware that our multi-tasking coordinators often have to deal with ambiguous problems and situations.

With this in mind, the Society launched the regular Chicken Soup emails in January 2008. These emails serve as bite-size educational resources for Clinical Research Coordinators.

Published by the CRCS, the monthly Chicken Soup emails are easy to read and contain essential information and practical knowledge that can be applied at work. We hope that the Chicken Soup will indeed be a nourishing resource for you!
