Seeking opportunities to begin a career as a Clinical Research Associate.
Hello my rockstar community! I hope everyone is doing well on this lovely Thursday.
Having been focused in nonprofit corporate relations (pharma/biotech sponsor relations) for the past 8 years, I am currently looking for my next adventure outside of nonprofit. I have a degree in Molecular Biology and strong skills in partner/project management. I've recently been learning about the terrific career opportunity of Clinical Research Associates at a contract research organization and could use some advice. I've heard tale of "Trainee CRA" programs and the like, but have not found any that had open application forms (just mentions on their website). Does anyone have any insight on in-house training programs at CROs without requirements of clinical experience?
I would love to go back to school, but as a single-salary household, that would make things quite tricky... So I'm hoping there are paid opportunities to get going...
Anyone have any insights on getting the foot in the door as a CRA?
I'd also take any good jokes ;)
Thank you!
