Even though having a partnership has a lot of risks from a financial point of view, I believe I would still have a partnership in the future. With a partnership, I would not be the only one handling the logistics of the company. I would have someone else to give me other point of views in decision making opportunities. Even though there is a risk…[Read more]

Private companies are only owned by a few individuals and cannot be traded publically. They are not required to report to the security exchange commissions or even report their financial data. By not reporting the financial data, they save more money not having the hire people to make sure to do these reports. For public companies, there are a…[Read more]

If I were to own a corporation, I would want my corporation to be a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP). I can have more than one partner to control the corporation and I would own as much of the company as a I put into it. I would also be liable for only how much I put into this corporation as well. Me and my partners would be the only ones…[Read more]

Many small companies tend to do all their documentation on paper which means having years and years of information in notebooks and binders which can be difficult to find if this information was necessary. Many big companies also document on paper but also use electronic programs and time stamps to save paper and becomes easier to find this…[Read more]

Everyone complains about Quality being a burden but when people think about it in the long run, it’s very beneficial. It might be a hassle to go through all the procedures and documentations that quality wants you to do, and many people might think that can slow the process but quality is supposed to save the company from any mistakes that would o…[Read more]

I believe that the company I work for has good relations with the QA/QC department. They are effective in their department and work well with the other departments. Whenever there is an issue, other departments (including the department I work in) try to resolve the issue as quick as possible. The QA/QC department is there to make sure every…[Read more]

I believe that FDA is not slowing down the process of the product with all the rules and regulations that they follow. They have strict guidelines that are supposed to help make sure the product that is being made is not harmful to anyone. By them going through each step, each documentation, and making sure all the methods and procedures are…[Read more]

Other than India having drugs that allow drugs that are banned in the US, there are other drugs that the US has banned but other countries do not. For instance, flunitrazepam (Rohypnol – brand name) is also banned in the United States but there are more than 50 countries around the world that still authorize the use and distribution of this drug.…[Read more]

Many companies follow the steps to make sure that there were precautions taken for a product to be used safely, with many tests done. FDA also would not approve such products if they were not safe for people to use at the time. Many of the issues that occur are packaging issues which are not accounted for until the product is completely finished…[Read more]

Animals have always been very useful in the name of science. We have developed vaccines, medications, and medical devices to make our way of life as well as other animals’ lives safer and easier. If we didn’t test on animals, it would mean that we would have to have volunteered humans to test these products which would result in more people dyi…[Read more]

For me personally, I would want to do research that would result in making discoveries to help the current generation rather than the future generation. Both are definitely very important to help, but the current generation influences the future generation so why not fix the problems that are currently here? There are always new advances to…[Read more]

Research is approached in academia and industry through the funding that they are given. The difference is that academia is funded through grants and publications. You cannot miss a deadline for an abstract or proposal for a grant otherwise you will not get the funding to do the research that you’re interested in doing. There are so many people o…[Read more]

During my time at Rutgers, I was in a group for my senior design project and we had come up with a rough schedule for when to meet, how to go about the design we were given, what each person would be doing, and the costs of the parts. What we didn’t account for was the vacation days and our respective exam dates that would come in the way of our s…[Read more]

I believe that all the steps are necessary for a successful project but the most important phase within a project life cycle is the planning phase. The planning phases is where you gather all your information on the project, make a schedule, create a Gantt chart, figure out the costs, look for resources, create teams, initate meetings, and…[Read more]

They both have to follow a strict guidelines but I believe there are more challenges in doing project management for medical devices compared to project management for building a school or skyscraper. Schools and skyscrapers have limited risks that can be avoided such as how much force or weight the building can handle. There are more civil…[Read more]

I believe there should be more than just 3 practical courses for this program to be ready for the industry. Practical courses help with having a better understanding of what to do in the industry, how to handle the position, what to do in these positions, and what different kind of positions are in the industry. Academic courses are also important…[Read more]

Even though I do not work in a medical device industry, some advice I would give is working on your networking skills and finding any experience related to what you want to do. Building on your networking skills helps with learning how to talk to people you’ve never met before and helps to see what else is out there. There might be other c…[Read more]

I believe that academia and industry both have strong arguments for working in both categories. Academia will definitely give you more time for research because you work on your own schedule. You teach people the basics of your passion and interests while expanding your own knowledge. You have more of an opportunity to help others to become more…[Read more]
