    Folks allow me the opportunity to chip in somewhat.

    The field is not an easy spot: lots of trials, even benefits. You’ll meet people looking at you this way or that way and making weird conclusions about you. Face it, we are going to be dealing with people of different backgrounds, upbringings, and education. But however you look at it, it will be you in the middle of this inspections from different angles.

    Take an example, Prof. Simon at the beginning of his career out there sort of came to what I would call a crash landing on his very first assignment. Someone who may have liked or disliked; respect or disrespected him came up with this crazy assignment: ‘You run this project —-‘

    Young Dr. Simon could not back away from his assignment though he may have had difficulties contemplating how to go about it. He made sure he did not loose composure. He faced it calmly and methodically. Somehow he came up with some solution which worked.

    In clinical operations we one will be dealing with operations to do with the human being; not at all an easy feat. What is important here is that no room be left for such things as may lead to Adverse Event Reporting. No matter what responsibility one chooses to take on in the clinical operation field, the preparation – which will obviously be necessary – be: thorough, comprehensive and accurate.

    Whoever gave you the opportunity in their establishment will not leave you alone, they will be watching and this could even lead to some benefit – no way to predict the outcome of how you deal with your assignments.
