There are different types of roles involved in clinical research, whether you are directly working on the study or aiding in other ways to help the study carry out. If you were involved in clinical research, what role would you want and why?

If I was involved in clinical research, I’d want to have the role of a Clinical Investigator. With this role, I will be responsible for investigating the study itself, and making sure it abides to the regulations; I’d also be responsible for the subjects, and their safety. The reason why this role stood out to me is because I’d want to make sure that whatever is going on in the study is acceptable, and that no one is at risk, whether it is the participant or the research team. This is also a very important role in clinical research, in making sure everything is in order.
