About the Greater San Antonio Chapter

The Greater San Antonio Chapter of ACRP was founded in August 2001 and covers the areas of San Antonio down to Corpus Christi and the surrounding cities. Our members have a variety of backgrounds in clinical research, including junior and senior clinical research associates; clinical study coordinators; program and project managers; data analysts; safety and quality assurance specialists; and biostatisticians. Thus, we intend to provide training sessions that will benefit all members. Quarterly chapter meetings are offered to provide professional development, a platform for networking, and current information in the evolving industry of clinical research and drug development. Social events are also offered primarily for networking opportunities. We look forward to seeing you at our chapter meetings and socials.

Benefits of Chapter Membership

Becoming an active member in your local ACRP chapter is a great way to learn more about clinical research in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry and it also provides many great benefits; a member of the Greater San Antonio Chapter of ACRP can expect to receive the following benefit:

• Obtaining research-related continuing education credits for each speaker meeting you attend – which counts towards certification maintenance
• Discounted registration for chapter sponsored educational programs
• Networking in all areas of research with other engaged research professionals
