Our Programs & Initiatives - MCA Clinical Trials

Clinical Trial Academy

Sponsored by Bristol Myers Squibb’s (BMS) Organization for Latino Achievement (OLA), and in partnership with the Association For Clinical Research Professionals (ACRP), the MCA’s Clinical Trial Academy program aims to grow our region’s clinical research workforce and the number of investigator sites conducting clinical research in El Paso, Texas and Las Cruces, New Mexico. If you are a physician, healthcare professional, student, job/career seeker, military veteran interested in clinical research, this program offers entry-level clinical research training needed to enter this profession. We also offer education, coaching, partner introductions, and startup support to clinics interested in expanding regional access to clinical research and integrating clinical research into the continuum of care. Please join us in creating a regional destination hub for clinical research that improves patient access to trials, and most importantly, improves global healthcare outcomes.
