About the Leadership Track
From executing trials to leading them .
The Leadership Track is designed for CRAs and senior CRAs who are already doing CTM-level work without the title — running vendor calls, unblocking sites, negotiating timelines — but keep being told they "need more experience" for the promotion.
In 6 weeks you build a verifiable CTM / CPM portfolio: a vendor oversight plan, a study-level risk register, an escalation ladder, a budget & timeline recovery plan, and a stakeholder communications kit. You leave with the artifacts hiring managers actually ask for in the CTM interview loop.
The problem
You're already the CRA who unblocks the study — but you're stuck at CRA pay.
You've been managing timelines, vendors, and site issues for two years — but the promotion never comes.
They don't teach vendor oversight, TMF governance, or IND/CTA-level risk decisions.
The Leadership Track gives you portfolio artifacts you can put in front of a hiring manager.
The Leadership Track is engineered so a hiring manager can say yes with confidence — because you have the artifacts to prove you can already do the job.
Leadership Track vs. generic leadership training
What actually changes when you enroll.
Purpose-built for clinical operations — not repackaged corporate leadership.
Six modules,
one CTM portfolio.
Small cohorts of 4–8 seats. Live twice-weekly sessions, real deliverables reviewed by Rudy, and a final portfolio that becomes your CTM / CPM interview evidence.
The CTM / CPM operating model
Vendor oversight & CRO governance
Budget, timeline, and recovery planning
Risk management, escalation, and quality
Stakeholder comms & the sponsor / CRO / site triangle
Promotion architecture: CTM → CPM → Program Lead
What you present at your next promotion conversation
By the end of Week 6 you can walk your hiring manager through five artifacts that show you already operate as a CTM.
- Vendor oversight plan tied to KRIs
- Study-level risk register + escalation ladder
- Timeline & budget recovery plan
- Stakeholder comms kit and cadence
- Personal Promotion Trigger Map (CRA → CTM → CPM)
- IAOCR-accredited certificate of completion

What Our Graduates Say
Real stories from professionals who transformed their careers.
"The vendor oversight module alone changed my next 1:1 with my manager. I got the CTM title four months later."
