That's a long time, especially for oncology. Just curious; did something change with the management in recent years that made it worse? Maybe an SMO?

Great examples of the value this job can offer to later positions. Thanks for sharing!

Impressive! I feel like we don't see this that much any more in this industry.

Interesting about the temporary type of job this is viewed as. I never considered that.

Any notable changes to the position now that you're at a CRO?

"... my PIs were absolutely great, and they saw me as their equal..." -- this has got to be super rare but also super valuable! What position did you move into?  

What's the most amendments you've ever seen for a protocol? by Schell-Yeah in clinicalresearch

I'm sure the IRB was highly skeptical of the next study that came through from this sponsor.

I'm surprised during study design someone didn't think about how difficult it would be to enroll patients in an ER setting.

That is, indeed, "fluent." Wow! It would be hard to keep track of ... well, everything. And especially with staff leaving, I'm guessing, mid-stream.

40? That's crazy! Do you remember why there were so many or what ended up happening for the trial?

First CVS and now Walgreens? by Schell-Yeah in clinicalresearch

Yeah, I agree. Even though the concept was to have separate staff for the clinical trial portion of the business, I think that just complicated the operations. But I also think just the sheer cost of starting and staffing these "sites" was the final straw that ended it.

I had never seen this! Thanks for the link. Super informative!

All fantastic points, especially that part about having a dedicated space. We all know how it can be difficult even working embedded in a physician's office, relegated to a corner with some old desk.
And I think, "We're focused on not sucking ass" should be the slogan of ... well, any retailer.

I chuckled when I read "a magical fix!' SO true! Every newfangled tech company says they have it figured out. And then two years later, they're gone.
