Do you have marketing experience? Are you passionate about having an impact in healthcare through clinical trials? Patient recruitment might be the career for you.
I recently interviewed Sara Root, Director, Account Leadership at Continuum Clinical, a patient recruitment organization. We discussed patient recruitment and her advice on careers in this space. I learned that patient recruitment requires a combination of marketing experience and knowledge about clinical trials.
Pharmaceutical and biotech companies hire physicians (MDs and DOs) for a variety of different positions. Physicians who have a passion for drug development can make a broad impact on patients and healthcare when they transition to industry from patient care or academic research.
In this series, we highlight specific functions or departments within typical pharmaceutical company organizations. We also feature the perspectives of women working in these different functions and their career journeys.
