It’s really hard to have a animal study fully represent the potential effects of a drug/medical device within a human. There are so many variables within a human that can drastically effect how the drug/medical device will respond or more importantly how those items will effect the body. In the case where unexpected results occur, there could be a…[Read more]

As someone who is starting there career within the medical device industry and applying what was learned in class, I felt that applying my knowledge from class concurrently with the application aspect helps me to fully understand what goes on within this type of industry. I personally work within the validation aspect, and it was great having the…[Read more]

As someone who has worked within the medical device industry and consumer, these simulation have reminded me of the type of typical day to day problems/issues that could potentially occur. Their could be multiple approaches to solve these simulations, which happens in real life as well, some solutions may be better than others. Overall, this…[Read more]

I have seen it myself sometimes the area disconnect, when I worked in consumer, I saw the constant push on the release of product from upper management, but never the recognition of a great job. I have seen that contracts to external manufacturers were implemented just because of the good relationship they had with an individual in upper…[Read more]

Great question, but I am quite sure where ideally I would like to end up. Ideally, I would like to work as an engineer for a few years… gain experience within the field and develop my career. Ideally after maximizing my options through engineering, I would like to take a manager role. I don’t know exactly what type of manager role I would like…[Read more]

I know a few people that had a fear of feeling ” too comfortable” at work, sometimes you adjust to a certain rhythym and just conform, as a result they move around to another position. Currently, I am transitioning from a co-op to a employee position. So I am currently at that excited state to begin my engineering career, at probably one of my…[Read more]

I would really enjoy going into R&D, but not within the clinical research area. I feel that this aspect within industry is probably one of the toughest. I attached a link to a website that talks about the pros and cons for clinical research associates.

Well in my opinion it depends, whether its as a result of the trial itself or the manufacturer of the drug. As the comments mentioned above, there could be an investigation on the drug, which find components to be not safe and as a result the trial is cancelled. Vice versa could be said about the trial itself… if something unexpected occurs.
