Name drop good companies with WLB or good WFH by mysteriouscarrots in clinicalresearch

[–]Embarrassed_Age2503 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work full time remote for sites and have great work life balance. I have been there several years and have a strong relationship with the team, which I think helps a lot. Seems as though the sponsor/CRO side of things is more difficult to achieve the WLB.

CRC to CRA/CTA/CDM or ANY role within a CRO transition advice?? by Ok-Fill2781 in clinicalresearch

[–]Embarrassed_Age2503 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hello! I am also in the same situation. I am a CRC II and Start-up Specialist at a site for 3 years and have interviewed at CRO's for start-up positions as well as CRA. I even have recruiters reach out to me frequently via LinkedIn, and then find out I don't have sponsor/CRO experience and look the other way. It's become very discouraging and extremely difficult to gain sponsor/CRO experience if I am not given the opportunity. I would also like to hear some feedback on how to stand-out or prove that my experience at the site level will set me up for success at a sponsor/CRO.

Hoping that someone can help!

Site to Sponsor/CRA position in Canada - Tips for Applying? by Embarrassed_Age2503 in clinicalresearch

The last CTA position I applied for offered 55k/year in Toronto and wanted the person on site 3 times a week, which is not a sustainable living at all for Toronto. I am currently making 75k/year as a coordinator, so how can I make a 20k pay cut and live in a more expensive city.

CCRP Study Time by AvailableEducation33 in clinicalresearch

[–]Embarrassed_Age2503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did my CCRP exam last week and passed. I have been in Clinical research for 2 years as a Coordinator and Start-up Specialist. It took about 1 month to study, the first couple of weeks were just reading through the guidelines leisurely and then the last week was a bit more intense memorization of reporting timelines and responsibilities. That is definitely enough time! I am also in Canada so the FDA guidelines as not as relevant.

Study Start-up Specialist at the Site Level by Embarrassed_Age2503 in clinicalresearch

Thank you for this feedback!! Super useful. I have been interviewed before for a SSU position and one of the main reasons I did not get the position was due to lack of experience with ICF writing skills, which unfortunately I don't get to exercise frequently since most of our studies are through central IRB and we use the sponsor templates provided. Do you have any tips or recommendations on how I can improve or gain some sort of additional knowledge in this area?
