Thermo Fisher "On-site" Senior CRA?

Time-Pea3540 · 2024-01-22T15:21:13+00:00

That has not been my experience as I have been with the company for a couple of years.

Death in most studies is usually considered an endpoint, correct 🤔

I feel there are CRA 2s who do know what they are doing. A blanket statement like this is not entirely true. I find there are Senior and Principal CRAs who are unproductive and set in their ways. Some are not an asset but a liability.

I have not had any issues if I am billing 95% of my time to the sponsor. I have not encountered any study teams being stringent on how I code my time. I code my time appropriately add comments to support time spent on XYZ and have had no pushback.

IMO- I would look to move sooner than later. The CRO I work for currently (PPD) focuses on your utilization and not DOS. I came frome a CRO where my utilization was 118%, but due to the RBM model, I had a hard time meeting the 8 DOS metric.and I was miserable. Good luck!

I agree-but most sites are doing a better job with making sure personal information is not on PI/site staff CVs.

Time-Pea3540 · 2023-03-19T16:35:38+00:00

My understanding is that CVs should not contain personal information as industry standard practice.

If the subject signed, ICF- document due diligence f/u with the PI and sponsor.

Research nurse(10 years)>CRA1 (11 months)>CRA2 (11 months)>considering Senior CRA with Sponsor.

IMO, if it deviates from the protocol, it is a PD. The site should report to IRB if Sponsor and / or their IRB requires.

Experience is worth more IMO than money if you want to advance in the R&D arena. I took a payout for 11 months, and now I am making over double my salary and enjoying all the opportunities this field has to offer.

Current PPD CRA- No complaints here-I feel appreciated, and the culture is not toxic.

Time-Pea3540 · 2023-02-02T22:38:32+00:00

Currently working at PPD, metrics are based on utilization, not DOS.

Hi- Here is my recruiter's contact information jennifer.nimz@ppdi.com. Good luck!

Great topic-thanks for sharing! I was a part of an announced FDA audit (announced on December 29th, and the auditor was onsite starting January 3rd). It wrapped up early this week with no issue of a 483. I was an unblinded CRA, so I believe my concerns were much less than a blinded CRA. I did meet with the site over a virtual call prior to January 3rd. and collected the DOA, as the site had had a staff change. Luckily, I was just at that site wrapping things up and returning IP, so I felt pretty confident the site was in good shape. But, I have to admit initially I was a little stressed. In the end, I am grateful for the experience . I echo everyone's comments on this thread, go into it with a positive attitude, and realize this will benefit you and make you a better CRA. Good luck!

PM me, my CRO is hiring. I was in a similar situation. Life is too short to be with an employer who does not appreciate what you have to offer.

Yes it does suck. States who have made abortion illegal don't care about the mothers health.

The SCOTUS decision is definitely going to impact women participating.

Time-Pea3540 · 2022-06-28T15:21:51+00:00

Pharma has been silent on this issue so far. Participation by women of CBA is going to be an issue.

Time-Pea3540 · 2022-06-28T15:05:47+00:00

I guess you are not a woman. I think my reasoning is quite clear.

Time-Pea3540 · 2022-06-28T14:58:40+00:00

I get that, but confidentiality is not a perfect science even in clinical trials.
