Casey’s post below, is one of the best pieces of advice about #clinicalresearchtraining and #clinicalresearchjobs I’ve seen on LinkedIn. I’d like to build on this sentiment, by saying that even a little site experience can go a long way. To be truly patient-focused, it’s important to have the experience of connecting with patients undergoing a clinical trial process face to face. I spent years collecting Informed Consent, meeting families, and conducting hours-long diagnostic assessments. I had the beautiful and sobering opportunity to walk hand in hand with patients from diagnosis onward, bearing witness to the human side of disease. Though I’ve made the move to Clinical Trial Technology, I draw from this experience every single day. I haven’t seen a patient face to face since 2019, but I can still see those faces in my minds eye when I’m working with data & analytics. I HIGHLY suggest Clinical Research Leaders coordinate opportunities for their employees to experience any type of site visit, even if it’s simply a few hours for education and exposure. Not everyone has the opportunity to dive into medical education. Providing a clinical experience for #researchprofessionals who don’t come from the clinical space will do wonders for enhancing organizational patient-focus. #clinicaltrials #clinicaltrialmanagement #clinicaltrialleaders #clinicalresearch #medicalresearch #patientexperience #patientcentricity #patientsafety #patientadvocate
Site level experience is underrated. What happens in the trenches is often far different from the perceptions held at general headquarters. Research professionals who understand site operations can more readily and successfully execute their studies. #clinicalresearch #clinicaltrials

9moAbsolutely! I totally agree. Connecting with patients face-to-face is a game-changer. They are not just a number. Reading their notes from the nurses/doctors is not the same. Then when you see their name in the obituaries, it hits you on a whole other level.
