A Day In The Life Of A Clinical Research Associate and How YOU Can Get Started

[@anamariaastudillo1289]

This was such an amazing interview, thank you both

[@fafastephengow5852]

One of the best sessions. Thank you guys and thanks Dan for the questions that pick out and clarify the salient points.

[@dansfera]

Thanks for listening

[@lucasmoka3529]

This video is incredibly instructive! I've learned much more in 40 minutes than hours of reading. Thank you guys, I hope there is going to be another video where you'll talk more about the other jobs opportunities existing in clinical research.

[@dansfera]

Lucas Mokhtari thanks for watching. Tons of interviews on my channel. Shoot me any questions.

[@caddycraft6823]

Very informative, thank you. I found this channel as I was researching where to bridge together my CMT with my RN, and finding a lot of content here to open my options as I am wanting to be able to use my education more vs, raw physical (draining ) work due to medical issues. Learning from your experience, makes me confident I have a solid base to work from in this field. -Appreciated

[@monicaphilip3260]

Hi Dan I am new to your channel. I was recently introduced to Clinical research industry newly by a friend. I am a RN in the UK and looking forward to becoming a CRA. I have obtained my GCP certificate and have been going through your videos and have also finished the 5 hours crash course on your channel, I found them very informative and interesting. I feel you are a great teacher on this field, judging from your videos I have watched so far. I am already feeling enthusiastic and knowledgeable although I have no practical experience in this field 😅 but with the videos I have watched I feel a positive vibe that I would make a brilliant CRA. Just to let you know that your doing a good job helping people from different backgrounds transition to clinical research industry. Thank you.

[@monicaphilip3260]

Also what is the title of your 📖 you talked about in the 5 hours crash course? Where can I get it?

[@dansfera]

Thanks so much. The Comprehensive Guide To Clinical Research.

[@monicaphilip3260]

Thanks, I actually found it on amazon 😀. Will get kindle version

[@snowystudydate]

Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed the conversation and learned a lot.

[@dansfera]

Thanks for watching

[@desi4lyfe379]

CRA positions vary based on the company. The CRA's I deal with haven't been on-site due to COVID since last April. If you are traveling during this time, you better be compensated well since who knows what will you bringing back to your family.

[@cliftoncox3130]

Great Video. This helps a lot. You guys did well on this

[@natetricks123]

I would like if you explained your acronyms as I'm trying to learn the industry and you are taking for granted your knowledge within the sector. Thank you

[@dansfera]

i know, i hate that too. will try to do a video tomorrow on the most common research acronyms

[@faithaikaeli8973]

please...

[@AcousticSilkvibes]

1) Great video as always Dan. 2) Yes Big CROs care about work life balance for CRA's because they want to mitigate CRA turnover. 3) Thats crazy hearing people say they want to go into Project management, usually we only hear people wanting to go into CRA role.

[@dansfera]

thanks and yes! I learned a lot in this one

[@AcousticSilkvibes]

Yes, forsure will have to have him on again!

[@nanobiotechpooja]

Wow! Amazing..!

[@dansfera]

+Pooja Gupta thanks!

[@jameeshelley897]

I am looking to transition into clinical research. I am currently a science teacher. I am looking for programs to gain knowledge and experience in clinical research. I do not have research experience. I like idea of the internship. Should I look into getting into a program? How important is the certification?

[@dansfera]

Certification not important...yet. What you need is to get IN the industry and gain exp. my CRA Academy can help. Www.thecraacademy.com

[@jameeshelley897]

Dan Sfera For the exams that are administered at the end of the program, are those paid through the program?

[@dansfera]

No. It’s our own final exam not an industry wide exam. It shows us who can graduate to our internship

[@preetamvanamala8508]

Great Video$$$$$ Dan But I missed attending todays Webinar on SOP's in Clinical Research

[@dansfera]

I have the replay up here also

[@unbox2071]

Research and business

[@BenjaminMcCall86]

Do you find that it is better to get a scientific background or more of a regulatory affairs type background?

[@dansfera]

Either could work

[@desireceo5294]

Please how can I contact you because I want an instructor

[@negoudahmed5952]

I’m starting a Master in CRA, I need a golden advise if there’s any .

[@dansfera]

There is none. I would suggest you mix some practical experience with your academic background

[@negoudahmed5952]

Dan Sfera Thanks Dan, If you could brush a little bit on “ off-labels “ FDA regulations.
