    I would be a clinical project manager. I am good at looking at the big picture and the main goal of the project but also break that down into small pieces and organize and motivate people. I learned this while managing projects for the government while working for the defense contractor General Dynamics Electric Boat. As I stated in another post, I am not very impressed with some of the outputs from some particular clinical trials (please see publications such as “Embracing failure: What the Phase III progesterone studies can teach about TBI clinical trials”). I am upset because when a drug fails Phase III clinical trials and millions of dollars are lost, the people suffer the most. Not a company but actual people who have no hope. Even one mismanaged clinical trial is hope and time lost for someone. I take it very seriously and when I read that a clinical trial wasn’t managed right or pointed in the correct direction when the information was available, I am upset and want to be part of the solution.
