I had a great time volunteering at a career fair at my kid's school yesterday! Met lots of interested high schoolers, middle schoolers, parents, teachers, and business folks. We talked a lot about clinical research, and I was surprised to see how many people want to know more about getting into this field. Clinical research is crucial for medical advancements, and there are many entry points for those interested. So, I've decided to start sharing entry-level and interesting clinical research job opportunities to help spark more conversations about joining this exciting field. Keep an eye out for my posts if you're curious about clinical research or thinking about a career change. Let's explore the possibilities together! #ClinicalResearch #careeropportunities
