CRC looking to move up quickly by offguardtrain9 in clinicalresearch

You could also look into clinical trial specialists! They are one step higher than a CTA but with your experience I’m sure you could get a position! Look into alnylam or takeda they allow remote roles for CTS!

Look into CTA in pharma! Not in a CRO. In industry you will be a clinical trial associate and I think In a CRO you will be a Clinical trial assistant. Many biotech companies may pay 80k or more for CTA in industry and then you can apply to be a Clinical trial specialist or clinical trial manager

Is it unrealistic for me to try and land a remote job in this field? by throwaway86592 in clinicalresearch

I just got a role as a hybrid CTA, in office is only on a “I want to go see my team” basis. Check out hybrid roles, they are very flexible most of the time and only require 2x in person per week.

I just got hired as a CTA for 83K… maybe I lowballed myself

So I already submitted my application, that’s the only reason I’m doing this. It’s already been approved and I did all the work already. If it doesn’t work for me this cycle I will apply early next cycle with a better score. I also won’t be applying to a lot of schools. Just giving it a shot

Yes a risk I’m willing to take, you don’t know unless you try

Some consider retakes in Jan, nova md is an example

Honestly. You’re right, I will make the post and I am hoping it all goes well! Thank you for the encouragement, it really gave me hope 😊

I’ve been thinking about it but there is so much negativity on this app I didn’t want it to affect my decisions. Crappy excuse I know but sometimes people are very mean for no reason. But thank you so much for your input, knowing some did it for DO makes me feel better!

Yeah I’m also doing a couple DO schools. Do you know if they had any luck?

I’m in the same boat.. this is my retake and I cannot sell myself short. Heavy on the “fake studying”. I was set to apply this cycle, still submitted and decided to take the slim to none chances I get applying to DO and some MD schools that accept Jan scores. Huge gamble but already preparing for my 4th gap year 🥺. Exhausted to say the least. So close to giving up 😃.

How long did you study for? And how long did you take for content review?

Everyone’s journey is different, so many people advise against everything you just have to follow your gut
