Building Pathways to Clinical Research Careers: Partnerships With Academic Programs to Provide Students With Experiential Learning Opportunities in Clinical Research.
Article in Academic medicine : journal of the Association of American Medical Colleges, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
problemThe practice of evidence-based medicine relies on clinical research to develop innovations in treatment and prevention. Clinical research professionals (CRPs) are critical to the development of safe and effective health interventions that guide medical practice, yet several challenges threaten the stability of the clinical research workforce. A lack of clear career pathways, inconsistent training standards, and underrepresentation of diverse populations in the workforce inhibit growth of the profession, contribute to high turnover and staffing shortages, and impact the ability to conduct research at clinical sites and academic medical centers. Without structured pathways to attract and guide new professionals to the field, the demand for trained CRPs to conduct the increasing number of clinical trials supporting academic medicine will remain unmet. APPROACH: Duke University partnered with academic clinical research programs at Durham Technical Community College and North Carolina Central University to establish experiential learning pathways facilitating entry into the clinical research workforce. Between January 2021 and May 2024, clinical research students completed a training program, including intake and matching, onboarding, preceptor preparation and goal setting, an internship period, and evaluation. OUTCOMES: Forty-seven students completed learning experiences under this partnership model. Of these, 14 (29.8%) secured employment in clinical research, including 8 at Duke, 2 at another academic medical center, and 4 in private industry. Structured experiential learning in clinical research confirmed that experiential learning complemented academic training and improved understanding of clinical research roles. In addition, centralized onboarding, initial training, and professional development workshops provide clear guidelines for interns and mentors across all learning pathways. NEXT STEPS: Duke is working to expand the network of clinical research preceptors and mentors within this partnership model. Duke will engage research managers to showcase the benefits of hosting clinical research students and highlight streamlined administrative processes.
