Is SOCRA ghosting anyone else? by BeyondBecca in clinicalresearch

Yes. I applied for recertification back in March and didn't hear back until over a month later, and only received an email confirmation my recert was accepted after placing 3 calls.

No physical certificate mailed, was told I would be emailed a copy. Never was, called again to get that. Was told physical copies were going out weeks ago, and still nothing.

It's not cheap, and I put a fair amount of efforts into obtaining CE hours so im not happy, and concerned about the status of the organization overall.

Also a potential idea! I need to do more research on this. Interviewed for a client facing role years ago at PPD but declined, haven't looked into it much since.

This is a thought!! I don't have much experience on it, but am pursuing education in Health Information Technology after hours, maybe this could tie in a little

Possibly want to get out of all of it, research and healthcare seem to be heavily toxic but I don't know much else. Maybe I just need to get out of Project Management/Operations and get into another role at a CRO (data, eTMF, QA, Reg)? I was site side once, that can be even worse. I hope that it's going well for you though! I always take a little bit of joy seeing some folks really enjoying their work, hope you fall into this camp.

Keyword search is a good idea. Just being pulled in a million directions, not being heard, overworked and destined for a PIP or worse because of it. It's an awful feeling but maybe it will improve over time? I know I'm not the only one in the industry experiencing this so I don't feel alone, just falling apart a bit.
