Hey. Your videos r very informative. I am a medical doctor from outside USA, I m having more then 10 years experience in medical profession, have participated in many researches. After getting a clinical research certificate course from US universities Can I work as a clinical research doctor in USA? Would really appreciate for your answer and guidance. Thanks.

This was very helpful, Thank you. I am a CRC and I have applied for a Remote Site Monitor position within my company. I have wanted this position for a while now. I just applied a few days ago and have not heard back again. However, I have been receiving tips from a co-worker who transitioned into this role. I do know the interview process is roughly around 2 hours. I was informed of a few questions that might be asked. One of those questions is a very routine interview question, I believe and would seem easy to answer. However, I have always struggled with this one. “Why do I want this position?” I have been trying to practice the answer to that. Incorporating my experience working with monitors, but my answer seems more of a ramble and I can’t quite make it to the point. I was wondering if you could give some guidance for this particular question? Thank you!

This answer should be specific to you. For instance, if I were to answer this question I would state that not only would it help advance my career and provide experience in an area that would help improve my skillsets but it also allows me to live anywhere since it's remote and I require this since I invest in real estate. When I purchase properties, I must move into them for a year while renovating them and I cannot have a job that prevents this.

I am an experienced CRC who is looking to transition into a CRA with a CRO or sponsor ...what tips would you give to lead and Sr CRCs who are looking to transition into a CRA or junior CRA position? Thanks

[@ErikLombere]

when speaking of your experience and revising your resume, you must match it to the job description of a CRA. The sponsors do not want to hear about how many patients you saw in a day but rather, they want to hear how you know the duties and responsibilities of a CRA and how your experience matches it. I'm happy to provide consulting calls to help prep you along the way to finding your next job. Just email me or message me on IG. links are in the descriptions of my videos.

Hi rohan. I’ll look into creating a video on this topic. I’ve been getting lots of questions around this topic but will need to research it a bit before I can make a video on it. Be sure to subscribe so you can know when my next videos go live!

[@rohandsouza6658]

Done that long back

[@ErikLombere]

Awsome. I’ll work on making this video!

[@ErikLombere]

hey bro, the video you requested is live. Check it out and let me know what you think! :)

[@rohandsouza6658]

Sure

I would not recommend what you are recommending to anyone dear to me. Dress to impress? And all of that to get a yes? That’s half the battle. Why don’t you start with the minimum exp required in research before CRA and leave the dress code for later in the video. Why would you want anyone monitoring something that they have never done before on the investigator side? I have seen people going through that stress. Plus they will not have the basics. Even for CTA these days they ask a minimum of 2-3 years. None of these core points seem to be an important point in your video.
