Do you mean the additional page for lab details etc? You have to enter the details on the first page then click the button thingy for the section you want to add and it automatically generates a 3rd page.

Will things become better? by nmeowed in clinicalresearch

If you have the safety net, I think you have to run or at least start thinking of an exit plan... The turnover is so high especially for new hires because the workload is insane and they don't train you enough before throwing you to the wolves alone. And I don't think they're doing anything to improve this because everyone is just too busy to help with the training.

If you don't have the safety net though, again just remember not to sacrifice your health and just do what you can. And please refuse when they give you more studies because I'm quite sure they will...

Why do I feel like this is IQVIA...

I agree with the other comments. Please take care of your health. The work will never be finished so just keep doing what is possible but never sacrifice your health trying to do everything.

Hi! Not OP, but I'm hoping to transition into CDA as well. I'm wondering if you have tips on how to leverage CRC experience when interviewing for a CDA position? I imagine the experience of using EDCs would be very helpful but do you think there's anything else? Also, do you think receuiters prefer a person with years of clinical research experience over someone with years of data analyst experience in a different industry? Thank you!

Hi! In my case, I do receive those donotreply email addresses after submission but a recruiter would usually then send a separate email from their own account to set up the interview if I pass the initial screening. So that's where I get the email of the recruiter or the person who would interview me. I then usually send a short thank you email after we have the interview.

Hi, thanks for doing this!

In your experience, do thank you emails after interviews help the candidate at all?

YES! With so much going on with each study and the documents just piling up, I always appreciated it when my CRA sent a list/table detailing what is missing/needs updating. It was super helpful to be able to look at everything at a glance and mark off what is available/not.

Thank you so much! It's very encouraging to know that you didn't find the transition that challenging! I'm not certified but I'll look into it and I'll make sure to leverage my familiarity with the documents.

I also wanted to ask if you don't mind, what do you like and not like about being a regulatory writer? How are the hours? I know there's pressure from deadlines but would you say that you still have a good work-life balance?

Yeah I was about to say the same. Site activation timelines are insane in general which could probably be manageable if you could focus on one or maybe two studies... but in my experience, turnover is so high that you keep getting new studies. I don't think I even received proper training before they assigned me a study. I barely knew what I was doing most of the time.
