In today's episode, I'm thrilled to welcome Tiffany Ashton, a seasoned professional in the clinical research industry, who has spent over 20 years navigating and mastering her career path. Tiffany shares her journey from Clinical Research Coordinator to Clinical Trial Manager and offers invaluable insights into various roles within clinical research, including the highly coveted Clinical Research Associate (CRA) position.
"Clinical research is a vast field, and there's a role for everyone. The key is finding where you fit best and building your expertise from there."
Tiffany talks about the day-to-day responsibilities of a Clinical Trial Manager, the importance of resilience and adaptability, and the potential career paths and salary expectations in this field.
"We often think of clinical research as just doctors and patients, but there's a whole ecosystem behind the scenes making it all possible."
