Who We Serve
Clinical Research Professionals work at a fast pace as they deal with tight timelines, long hours, and extensive to-do lists.

A lack of tools, training, resources, and time makes it challenging to be more efficient, organized, and confident to do a job well.

Through efficiency-producing tools, expert consultations, top-notch training, and free resources, we equip Clinical Research Professionals with the skills needed to continue and advance their career and assist in their quest for work-life balance.
Together, we can revolutionize quality and efficiency in Clinical Research. We hope you will join us!
The Evolution
How a Group of Clinical Research Professionals Set Out to Revolutionize the Clinical Research Industry
FOUNDED
ClinEssentials was founded in 2018 by a group of accomplished research professionals eager to improve current industry processes.
COMBINED EXPERIENCE
The founders of ClinEssentials brought together their years of experience to create products that revolutionize quality and efficiency for the benefit of clinical trials, research professionals, and study teams.
THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE
The team agreed that one of the biggest challenges they faced as Clinical Research Professionals was the counterproductive yellow sticky notes that were tedious to write, difficult to read, and too easy to lose or ignore before addressing the actions.
THE SOLUTION
They knew they could come up with a solution - and that is exactly what they did with the creation of their flagship product, CRA Audit Notes. Next, the team added the Action Item Pad, Visit To Do List, various Bundles, and other indispensable tools to the ClinEssentials product line.
MORE BIG CHALLENGES
The ClinEssentials team did not stop there; their work revolutionizing the Clinical Research industry was not done. They prioritized three more critical needs: career support, training for the Clinical Trial Manager (CTM) role, and customized solutions for CROs and Sponsors.
CAREER SERVICES
One solution was the addition of Career Services, which provides individualized consultations for career advice, professional development, resume reviews, and more.
COMPREHENSIVE CTM TRAINING
The second solution was the creation of the ClinEssentials CTM Training Course for aspiring, new, and current Clinical Trial Managers. This training, which teaches CTM responsibilities from Study Start-Up to Close-Out, has helped many research professionals level up and stand out for job interviews and promotions.
CUSTOM SOLUTIONS FOR CROS AND SPONSORS
The third solution was to provide support and solutions for CROs and Sponsors in varying capacities, including Clinical Research Staffing, eTMF Review, and Study Rescue.

And Then The
Clinical Research Professionals who used CRA Audit Notes and other time-saving tools found they spent significantly less time rewriting phrases, could provide visit summaries to research sites more quickly, and increased efficiency in monitoring up to 30%.
Additionally, research sites that used CRA Audit Notes benefited from the streamlined communication, the ability to more effectively prioritize action items, and the time saved pre- and post-monitoring visits.
Research professionals in various roles and with diverse backgrounds scheduled confidential consultations with ClinEssentials Career Services. The valued support received from a Clinical Research career expert helped clients navigate their careers and establish a clear path to achieving their career goals.
Through the CTM Training Course, ClinEssentials delivers training far beyond what hiring companies offer. Participants learn key strategies for managing a clinical trial from Start-Up to Close-Out and are prepared to hit the ground running as a new CTM and level up as a top CTM.
