Research coordinators can capitalize on this trend by developing skills in data science and becoming familiar with the tools used by data scientists. This will allow them to work more effectively with data scientists and help provide the insights that businesses need to make better decisions.

A Greater Focus on Ethics

As research continues to become more complex and ethical issues arise, the role of the research coordinator will become increasingly important.

Research coordinators are responsible for overseeing all aspects of research projects, from planning and design to implementation and reporting. They are also responsible for ensuring that research is conducted in a way that is ethical and meets the standards of the institution where they work.

In order to be successful in this field, research coordinators must be able to manage multiple tasks simultaneously and have strong communication skills. They also need to be able to think critically about research designs and understand the ethical implications of different methods.

More Collaboration Between Research and Business Units

Research and business units are increasingly working together in order to create products and services that meet the needs of customers. This trend is leading to an increased demand for research coordinators who can bridge the gap between these two departments.

Research coordinators can utilize this trend by developing strong relationships with both research and business units. This will allow them to better understand the needs of both sides and help them to collaborate more effectively.

How to Become a Research Coordinator

A research coordinator career can be a great way to get your foot in the door of a company or organization. As a research coordinator, you’ll have the opportunity to work with a variety of people and projects. You may even be able to move up the ladder and become a manager or director of research.

CLINICAL INVESTIGATION WORK

Job Description

Clinical Research Specialist is an employee who organizes and conducts clinical trials of drugs, biologics or devices on behalf of an investor. A clinical trial is a scientific study of the action, benefits and side effects of medical products, including both new medicines and those already on the market. The position of clinical research specialist may also be called, depending on the company, the position of clinical research (or trial) controller, administrator, researcher, or coordinator.

Key Job Responsibilities

Key Job Responsibilities include:

• Selecting and instructing suitable physicians, consultants or testers to conduct trials;
• training of research centers – providing the centers with materials for testing, checking the knowledge of the tester of his duties;

• validating and collecting completed case histories from hospitals and practitioners;
• closure of research centers upon completion of testing;
• discussing the results with a statistician. Writing a technical test report is usually done by a medical statistician.

The work of a clinical research specialist varies greatly from company to company. In some companies, you will be involved in the process from start to finish, from discussing trials with the doctor who submitted the idea and developing a trial protocol to writing a report after the final analysis. In other companies, a consultant doctor develops a test project, and your task is only to collect data during the test.

One clinical researcher described the job as follows: “I enjoy being involved in projects as a clinical researcher – this job successfully combines short-term assignments that can be completed quickly and longer-term goals and objectives.”

Working conditions

• The standard salary for a novice employee is from $40,000 to $60,000 per year.

Education in the biological sciences (especially pharmacology, pharmacy, biochemistry, immunology, physiology or toxicology) or nursing is one of the requirements for employment as a clinical research specialist. Education in other areas may also be acceptable. However, it is difficult for a graduate without work experience to apply directly to a position as a clinical research specialist, although some companies accept recent graduates with the necessary personal skills. A graduate without relevant professional experience is likely to start in a casual job, such as clinical data coordinator. As a rule, such activities are related to the processing and coordination of data and do not include participation in the development and conduct of tests. Experience in these roles usually prepares you for a position as a clinical research specialist.

Employment without a diploma or certificate is unlikely, although it is sometimes possible to enter an administrative position. A Ph.D. in a related field provides an advantage in some companies both when applying for a job and when moving to a higher position, as well as when moving to work related to the development of test protocols.

In addition to an academic or nursing degree, companies require excellent written and spoken communication, interpersonal skills, and attention to detail. Mathematical mindset, commercial streak, administrative and organizational skills are also welcome. This work requires high self-organization and the ability to quickly absorb information. A serious, balanced approach to work is needed; established researchers with relevant work experience will be favored. From a human factor perspective, you should be outgoing, confident, and friendly. You must have a driver’s license and understand the importance of the Clinical Practice Method (GCP). Prior experience in the same field is highly desirable and may include medical practice, nursing, drug sales, clinical laboratory work, clinical data, pharmaceutical research.

With ever-tightening government requirements for licensing new drugs and renewing the license for existing drugs, the demand for clinical research specialists is on the rise.

Professional development

Mostly self-paced and on-the-job training, with short courses on selected topics. Some companies give clinical research professionals a free shift or a day to take refresher courses in clinical knowledge and research methodology.

Career development

The career ladder varies from company to company and is not always clearly defined. However, most companies have clinical trial manager (administrator) positions that can be filled by experienced clinical research professionals. Some companies require a Ph.D. for senior positions. Positions such as Consultant Physician or Supervisory Physician usually require a medical degree.

Employers

You can be hired either directly by a pharmaceutical company or through a contracting organization (an agency that recruits clinical research personnel to work under contract with pharmaceutical companies). Sometimes clinical investigators are also recruited by the research departments of hospitals.

Information about vacancies

You can find information about recruitment agencies in the specialized press or through the employment office. It makes sense to register with specialized recruitment agencies. You can also contact the pharmaceutical company or contractor directly.

monitors clinical trials

I wanted to go into medicine since childhood. I studied with a tutor in order to pass the entrance exams to one of the Siberian medical universities – then there was no USE yet. I scored good points upon admission, but the medical faculty was a bit short on the budget. Employees of the admissions committee campaigned for the medical and preventive faculty – one of the young and promising at that time. The program there was one to one like that of students of the medical faculty, including all clinical disciplines – in practice, of course, they were not useful, but I am grateful for the knowledge and clinical thinking. He graduated from medical and preventive and went to an internship in general hygiene.

During my studies, I did an internship in city hospitals, and in my specialty – in Rospotrebnadzor and the Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology. And after graduation, he got a job at Rospotrebnadzor. The distribution was competitive: whoever had the most points got the first place.

In Rospotrebnadzor, I carried out inspections for compliance with the requirements of sanitary legislation. If violations were detected, measures were taken – mainly fines or suspension of activities. I worked there for a year and a half, received 12,000 R per month. In the first year there was still some interest, and then I realized that I had to run away from there before it was too late. I was disappointed both in the essence of work in the civil service and in the salary. If we talk about the prospects for salary growth, there were excellent examples of how in 3-4 years it grew to somewhere up to 25,000 R. But not everyone was able to make such progress.

I didn’t like the checkbox system: I had to fulfill the plan according to protocols, articles, and so on. As well as the attitude of people to their work: no one loves it, but “there is nowhere to go.” Nobody needs personal growth, colleagues, smiling in the eyes, quietly hate each other, gloat, instead of helping each other, they conduct endless internal investigations and impose disciplinary sanctions. I did not want to stay in this swamp.

“I don’t understand what this job is for”: how much does a civil servant earn

I decided to get a job as a medical representative. Jobs in the pharmaceutical industry are mainly sought through Headhunter, and I am no exception. I received the first offer from an Indian company – it was necessary to promote Indian antibiotics. They promised a salary of 25,000 R and did not even provide a car. Representing the quality of these antibiotics and taking into account the working conditions, I refused. I did not go through the competition to the largest pharmaceutical company: they hired a person with experience.

As a result, I found my place in a medium-sized company that produced decent drugs and provided good conditions: salary of 40,000 R, car, medical insurance, flexible schedule. I had to promote their drugs in our region: visit doctors and pharmacies, participate in conferences and organize them. During the work, the salary increased to about 60,000 R, plus bonuses for fulfilling the plan were very pleasing – quarterly and annual.

After the civil service, pharma is a completely different level of organization. You need profit, and employees bring profit. Therefore, the company is interested in their development – it provides good working conditions, conducts trainings, meetings, team building and so on.

I liked working in pharma, but after a few years I got tired of sales and wanted to change direction. I saw a vacancy for a clinical research monitor. In different companies, this position is called differently. The most common variant in English is CRA, clinical research associate, in the Russian Federation the name “monitor” has been fixed, since this is a specialist who monitors.

I was hooked by this work, because it is connected with the study of drugs that have not yet been approved for the market, including innovative ones.

We were looking for a candidate with a higher medical education and a sufficient level of English – often an Upper-Intermediate is needed, but you can find options with lower requirements. It was also desirable to have experience in clinical trials. I benefited from the communication skills that I received while working as a medical representative, and the ability to read laws – from the time I worked at Rospotrebnadzor. First, I had a conversation with a recruiter, then with a direct manager. Surely there were checks without my participation. Some companies may conduct additional interviews and ask you to take tests. In general, they took me with a salary of 60,000 R at the start.

The essence of the profession

The essence of the monitor’s work is to ensure that clinical trials of drugs are carried out in accordance with all the rules.

To describe as briefly as possible, each drug goes through the following path: first an idea appears, it is evaluated and, if it is worthy of life, they begin to implement it. They are looking for synthesis routes, conducting preclinical studies in vitro, that is, in test tubes, and in vivo, on animals. At each stage, the development of many drugs ends. And if the drug is still of interest, it is taken to clinical trials in which people are already participating.

Depending on the type and phase, clinical trials have different objectives. But in general terms, the main goal is to make sure that the drug is effective with a sufficient safety profile, that is, the benefits of its use outweigh the risks. The study itself is essentially the treatment of patients with a specific problem.

/klinicheskoe-issledovanie/

Why participate in clinical trials for cancer and how to find them

A clinical trial report is sent to the Ministry of Health, and on its basis a decision is made on the possibility of registering a medicinal product.

These days it is unlikely that an unsafe drug will reach clinical trials. But there are cases when further development of drugs is stopped during clinical trials, including due to safety indicators, such as, for example, complete blood count, biochemical analysis, or some specific laboratory tests. It is better to stop development in the first phase of a clinical trial than to bring the drug to the point where it will be withdrawn from the market after registration.

In my practice, this did not happen, but it happened with colleagues: according to specific tests, they realized that the drug had an insufficient safety profile. This was revealed only in laboratory studies, clinically the patients were normal. But drugs are not water or chalk. Any drug can cause adverse effects – and it does, including in clinical trials. Such cases must be recorded and analyzed. The question is the balance of benefits and risks.

Monitor does not make any drug decisions. Its task is to ensure that clinical trials are carried out in accordance with international and state requirements, the rights of patients are respected, and the data obtained are reliable. Monitoring is an essential part of clinical research. It can be carried out both by the sponsor himself and by contract organizations, CROs, who can take over the entire process. Accordingly, the monitor can work directly with the developer or in the contract organization. For each clinical trial, a project team is formed, which includes, among other things, monitors.

The manufacturer has no influence on the investigators. He needs reliable data: if any forgery is revealed during an audit or inspection, then both the drug and the manufacturer will have problems.

Clinical research is one of the most bureaucratic areas of medicine.

Each step has a document that describes what to do and how to do it. In Russia, the main regulations are the Federal Law “On the Circulation of Medicines”, Order of the Ministry of Health No. 200n “On Approval of the Rules of Good Clinical Practice”, Rules of Good Clinical Practice of the Eurasian Economic Union. International ethical and scientific standard – ICH GCP.

The research physician must conduct an explanatory conversation with the patient and obtain informed consent to participate in the study. This procedure is strictly regulated by the ICH GCP and is rooted in the Nuremberg Code. After that, screening is carried out: a series of procedures that are necessary to make sure that the patient meets all the criteria for participation in the study. Further, all patient visits and procedures are carried out in accordance with the protocol approved by the Ministry of Health and the ethical committee. The protocol spells out what needs to be done and when: when to perform what analysis or test, when to give the patient the drug, and so on.

We come to research centers to make sure that the research is proceeding in accordance with the protocol and regulatory requirements. We look at how the patient is being treated, check the primary documentation – usually, a separate medical history is taken for the study and questionnaires are filled out, as well as documents confirming the anamnesis are attached. In these documents, everything should be described in detail and consistently, so that after reading it, you can restore the course of the patient’s visit and understand whether the protocol is being followed.

We must ensure that the rights of patients are respected and their safety is ensured. For example, there are mistakes in the procedure for including patients: they didn’t tell something, they took blood for analysis before obtaining informed consent, they performed some procedure that is not prescribed in the protocol and / or informed consent.

Everything must be documented. Sometimes the researcher does not correctly transfer information to the data collection system. And it happens that the procedure was carried out incorrectly, or not in full, or not carried out at all, although it is indicated as completed. Our task is to check that everything registered can be confirmed. This is in short.

If we see that there are any difficulties or misunderstandings, then we conduct trainings for researchers. If there are systematic problems, we solve them with the principal investigator.

Serious violations are rare. In this case, a plan of corrective and preventive measures can be developed. In emergencies, extreme measures can be taken – I have not had such cases, so I argue theoretically: stop the study, put the principal investigator on the black list – such is, for example, in the FDA, getting there is tantamount to ending a career in international clinical research. The companies themselves have their own databases of researchers. And they can even close the research center. Or the study of the drug will continue, but the data from this center will not go into the analysis. But extreme measures are possible only in case of very serious or systematic violations of the law, such as forgery, falsification, gross disregard for the rights of patients, and so on.

A report is written based on the results of each monitoring. The reports are small, they do not contain any results of clinical trials – only a description of the monitoring itself: what they saw, what was done, what needs to be done, conclusions about whether the research is being conducted at the center in accordance with the requirements. It takes several hours to complete such a report.

Place of work

For more than three years I have been monitoring in one of the Russian companies. We work in a home office format, although I am not the only employee in my city.

Pros: a very decent salary for my city, the possibility of growth and development – not in words, but in deeds, work in a field that is significant for society, with interesting tasks and interesting people – leading specialists in various medical fields.

/biotech/

Why and how I invest in biotech

Cons: high workload. Many business trips, many projects and tasks. I often have to stay late after work to get everything done. We have a time difference with the central office, but this is not always taken into account: sometimes tasks arrive outside of working hours, it is in the order of things to schedule a meeting after the end of the working day, local time.

Working day

There are three types of working day for me.

Home office work. From morning to evening at the computer and on the phone. We write reports, discuss patient management issues with researchers. The questions can be very different and depend on the experience of researchers: how to manage a patient in some difficult situation, how to describe some non-standard event, how to collect and prepare biosamples, how to perform some kind of protocol-specific procedure. The monitor mainly has questions for researchers when something is unclear or incompletely described in documents.

Work in a research center, monitoring. Usually, studies are carried out simultaneously in different medical institutions, cities, countries. The Monitor is assigned to lead several research centers. So the main part of the work takes place on business trips, almost every week I go somewhere – from the Urals to Eastern Siberia.

Of course, before starting a study or before joining an already ongoing one, training in nosology, that is, the disease, drug, protocol, guidelines, is mandatory.

On the spot, we first of all look at the documents of the research center – license, accreditation, check documents on interaction with the ethics committee, documents of researchers – their resumes, diploma and certificate of a specialist, GCP certificate, documents for equipment. In addition, you need to check all the documents for patients: how the procedures for obtaining informed consent, inclusion in the study and further treatment, and insurance were followed. We look at documents on drugs: supply, storage, issuance, disposal.

There are a lot of documents!

We check the storage conditions of preparations and biosamples, count their number. We check whether everything is entered correctly in the data collection system. We conduct trainings. We do not communicate directly with patients.

All we need to work in research centers is a laptop, a pen, a notebook and lots of stickers. There is a large flow of information and tasks. Our company has a special system in which tasks are set and monitored – it helps a lot not to miss anything. Also, a permanent assistant is a calendar in Outlook, plus a bunch of all kinds of tables.

Work in the center usually takes 1-2 days.

Half day in the office, half on the road. This happens on the day of a business trip. Thanks to my work, I have visited many large cities in Russia and abroad. It may not always be possible to fully see the city, but the atmosphere is different everywhere, and this is very cool!

On weekends I don’t work as a matter of principle: it’s better to stay in a hotel longer on a business trip.

Case

It’s nice to see how patients are treated with an innovative drug and it helps. And how then this drug enters the market, where all patients have access to it. For example, there was a drug for severe chronic patients who are not helped by other treatments. On this drug, patients go into remission, and their quality of life improves significantly. This was seen both in the study and according to further reviews of doctors when the medicine hit the market.

Top 10 medicines bought in Russia

Those drugs that are being studied now are intended for the treatment of rather severe conditions. But they really help, it gives interest to the work. I would not want to deal with useless drugs. Although, unfortunately, there are other companies on the market…

Income and expenses

During my work, I went through several promotions and now I earn a little less than 200,000 R. The salary is fixed. They also pay bonuses – annual and for especially significant projects, but this is very rare. The salary is quite competitive, although there are places where it is higher and there are other benefits: a car, better medical insurance, more vacations, and so on. But not all companies can grow quickly, and in principle there are restrictions on monitor grades.

My wife and I share a budget. Basically, all expenses are covered from my card, the spouse saves her salary, which is not high for the state employee, for additional education and just in the piggy bank, and also spends it on some gifts and small things.

I try to spend money wisely, but without feeling too restricted.

Every month we spend 30,000 R on a mortgage: 18,000 R for payment, 10,000 R for early repayment, and another 2,000 R are put aside in reserve.

We have a separate piggy bank account for holidays. We transfer 20,000 rubles there every month. In pre-pandemic times, we managed to go on vacation 1-2 times a year, plus we arranged small trips around Siberia. We usually spend on vacation within 150,000 R. At the same time, 1-2 tickets are bought for bonus miles, which are accumulated thanks to my business trips. The last vacation was spent in Russia, like many people in this difficult time. Were in St. Petersburg.

There is a piggy bank for “Wishlist” – 2000 R per month goes there. The last time I took money from there to upgrade my phone: with the previous one, for 12,000 R, it took three years, it suited everyone except limited memory, so it was more of a necessity.

I also make sure that we have a minimum balance for medical expenses – 10,000 R. It was calculated empirically: once the expenses for medical services reached 8,000, then I decided to make this amount irreducible with a small margin. It is difficult to say how much we spend on medicine, since money is mainly needed for acute illnesses. But 2-3 thousand per month is steadily spent – this is for medical services, and for medicines, and for care products.

I have VHI and life insurance from the company, in my case they apply only to the employee. Now, under a salary project, I also received a travel policy for the whole family, it operates within a radius of 100 km from the place of registration. This is, in fact, an analogue of DMS. I have used state medicine once in the last three years – last year, when I received a positive test for covid: private clinics do not work with it. Children often go to the state polyclinic, mainly for information.

As a doctor, I can be critical of prescriptions. If a child with simple snot is prescribed a whole list of placebos, writing them out with a medical prescription pen on a medical prescription sticker, then I can completely ignore this. I can prescribe treatment for myself or my family, but only in mild and understandable cases. At the slightest doubt, I prefer to consult a doctor: a look from the outside is always more objective. So, on essential issues, we try to find a good specialized specialist.

Every month I also set aside 6000 R for a car – this is both for servicing the current one and for savings to upgrade it. I save up for my children for the future, for my old age – I transfer to IIS at 4000 R per month. I make transactions quite rarely, because I don’t have time and I don’t see the point in speculating in long-term investment. I will save during the entire working period, as long as there is income: now such investments are quite comfortable and do not limit. I want to start spending on pensions, since it is unlikely that the state will provide a decent old age.

If there were no additional expenses, then I distribute everything that remains from the salary by the end of the month additionally to all items of piggy banks.

Future

I like my profession, I don’t plan to change it now. While career and professional development is underway, I want to get the maximum in this place. Then you can move to another company or get a higher position.
