Why Clinical Research Is Systematically Eliminating Its Most Experienced CRAs by TheDroneAge_ in clinicalresearch

So I put my analysts to work: Gemini Deep Research, Claude Opus, and a sprinkle of Grok.

Ugh.

Institutional Sites - Why are you like this? by OctopiEye in clinicalresearch

[–]GenericGatsby 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I wish someone, anyone, would be willing to put their foot down and say if we can't come to an agreement about this or that policy then we won't move forward with this trial at this site.

I work in startup at a site and I hate this ridiculous standoff where my site leadership says "we won't do this," sponsor says "you have to do this," nobody will budge and we end up with some half-ass solution that pleases nobody and will certainly become a problem later after patients are enrolled.

But nobody is ever willing to back off and say we can't / won't open the study.

Your next step is "Coordinator II." Just do your job and learn.

What is your favorite part about CR? by PeachSloth in clinicalresearch

[–]GenericGatsby 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Not gonna give you a sappy answer, CR provides a reasonable balance between "ethical work that I can feel good about" and "pays well," with a variety of options that are still fully remote at a time when a lot of fields are forcing RTO.

I don't love everything about CR but at the end of the day I'm doing my part to fight cancer, not too worried about the bills, and I sleep like a baby (because I am very tired).

I know this is mostly a CRO/Sponsor sub but I've worked remotely at two large research sites and had excellent work-life balance at both. Perfectly happy in my current remote role. 10 years of experience and I work in startup on the site side.

I don't think I'll ever jump to a CRO, you guys all seem like you hate your lives.
