On my suggestion, I would prefer to be a Clinical investigator in closely investigating the subject’s health data. This role is where the investigator has to gather the subject’s medical history before testing on them. The investigator has to treat the subjects carefully before experimenting in them. It is the role where it has both positivity and drawbacks. It is where we could directly examine the subject with its effects. This is an interesting role where we know what exactly the project is on and results would be. But the most important thing is that we have to daily monitor the subjects data and make scheduled visits, procedures, tests and report for adverse events.

Out of the clinical research roles, I would be most interested in working as an investigator. My first reason for this interest is I would want to participate in the treatments for the subjects. I also like the ability to interact with the patients that the clinical investigator has. 

I would like to work as a Clinical Quality Assurance Auditor (CQA) who is responsible to ensure that the trials are performed as per the guidelines and regulations considering the various GxP practices such as Good Clinical Practices (GCP), Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) etc. as per the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) of the organization per the FDA regulations. Update the SOP's to match the current practices carried out within the organization. Ensure that all the protocols are followed and any deviations are addressed. Manage and maintain databases for quality systems and perform audits for suppliers and vendors is what I would enjoy in a clinical research. 

I want to be an investigator in clinical research trial. By being n investigator I will be directly in touch with the subjects and involved in the research methods. Being in a lab/research environment excites me. Seeing the results and come up with new plans for the device if needed, is a part that I enjoy the most. Other than that I can have hands on experience from the trial and use my knowledge in real environment.

I would like to work in a position where I'm involved with data collection and processing, so either a CRA or investigator. However, I also would consider a position such as a monitor where I'm looking over the protocol and CRFs and double checking for accuracy.

In a clinical trial, I would perform the monitoring duties. I would choose this because I would be able to travel to all of the locations where the clinical trial is taking place and ensure the integrity of the data being collected. This is an important role because it makes sure all of the necessary forms and files are completed, compiled, and stored. Without all of this information, the trial could be for nothing because it was not documented properly.

I would prefer sponsors role as they do research on rules and regulations in order to develop protocols. In order for sponsor to start clinical trials they have to follow good clinical practices which involves 21 CFR regulation by FDA, FDA guidance documents, and International Conference on Harmonization. I like reading through these kinds of regulations and rules which is why I believe I would make a good sponsor. Sponsors have responsibilities of giving rest of the clinical researchers  like investigator and monitors set of instructions which they have to follow and I like writing instructions which is another reason why I chose role of a sponsor.

I would like to be a Research Assistant. This is more for Ph.D. students in a lab setting. Where the PI(Principal Investigator). Since I believe it is a high return for low risk. Depending on your P.I. you are able to experience any type of task associated with being an investigator of a clinical study. In addition, you are able to ask your P.I. for guidance which is always helpful when you are learning a new set of skills. Also, you will be involved in detail from the beginning of the pre-clinical trial to even to prototyping a device. Which covers a large depth of range of skills and you are able to try different types of jobs. From these experiences, one can find a passion for which one can pursue it after graduate school. 

I would like to be a clinical research assistant and be in close connection with the investigation, reason being,  I personally like core biology a lot and it interests me to go in depth into the investigation and know the root cause in hand.

Personally I have always have the flare to go into research and also, Quality which am presently into. So for me I would love to be an Investigator where I will be directly in touch with the subjects and involved in the research methods and since in involves more clinical work I would love to start up with becoming a CRA which will be a pivoting role to start up with.

Another role I really love is Clinical Quality Assurance Auditor (CQA). Working in the quality department for years now, I would want to be responsible to ensure that the trials am carrying out or investigating are performed according to the guidelines and regulations which will involve the GCP - Good Clinical Practice and GLP - Good Laboratory Practice.

Putting all this together and having good experience in these roles will enable me to start up a project that I have desired for years - to create a combination device which will help in the eradication of Malaria back in Africa. 

For me personally, I would elect to be a Clinical Quality Auditor (CQA). This is the individual which is responsible for verifying that all records are in compliance with the set standards and guidelines. Since their main function is to be able and review multiple roles for any possible errors, they would metaphorically act as the "safety net" of the clinical trial. In essence, I believe that this role has a more generalized view of the entire clinical trial, and as a result, they are likely able to see the "big picture" at all times. Both of these aspects are positives in my book, and I believe would be an interesting type of job to perform.

If I were involved in clinical research, I would want the role of Principal Investigator. I would enjoy being directly involved in the study and being the person that performs screening for the subjects and enrolls them in the study. I would like the hands-on nature of the position where I am also the person who treats the subjects and continues with them throughout the process. The duties of the PI seem very interpersonal and I would be able to interact with the subject quite often. This position would be the most fascinating to me and keep me the most busy while also feeling useful.  

The field of clinical trial investigation interests me. Patients can benefit from alternative treatments available only through clinical trials when they participate in clinical trials. My goal is to make sure the rights, safety, and welfare of human subjects are protected in the studies they conduct. Developing new medicines and therapies and potentially helping people around the world is what I want to do. I strive for excellence in everything I do to make a real difference in people's lives.

I would assume the position of a clinical investigator. The rights, safety, and welfare of human participants in their investigations are the responsibility of clinical investigators. The study's initial and ongoing ethical examination must be carried out by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) that adheres to FDA standards, among other requirements. Each subject who participates in the study must also give informed consent. I value ethics greatly, so I think I would excel in this position.

I would pursue a role as a clinical study coordinator or a clinical research associate. In both these capacities, I am directly involved in carrying out the study but also ensuring the candidates for the study meet the qualifications and access to the trial. One of the issues plaguing clinical trials is the lack of diversity in the recruitment groups which leaves me to wonder if they clinical drugs are really safe for everyone? If the current population is not represented in the trial, then what conclusions can we say about the novel drugs being brought to market? This where the clinical research coordinator or recruiter is most important. I hope to pivot into this career and see firsthand how I could push the envelop and help people get access to the numerous ongoing trials that can be potentially lifesaving.
