Raphael is an RMIT Masters graduate who is deeply passionate about the clinical trials through helping new therapies enter the market. He has wanted to become a Clinical Research Associate (CRA) since he completed university. But he was repeatedly rejected from Pharmaceutical companies because he did not have any industry experience.
A CRA or clinical trial monitor is a health-care professional who performs many activities related to medical research, particularly clinical trials. They play an integral part in the development of a new therapeutic intervention or medical device because they are one of the primary points of contacts between the pharmaceutical companies, the contract research organizations and the hospitals or clinics (also referred to as sites) and ensure that all trial data collected are accurate and activities adhere to regulatory standards and trial protocols. Clinical research associates are usually hired by contract research organizations or pharmaceutical companies.
After a year of frustration and upon hearing about Clueo Clinical’s unique end-to-end Industry-Bridging Program from a friend, Raphael pre-enrolled and started the program in September 2020 without hesitation.
Half-way through the program, unfortunately, he had to relocate overseas for personal reasons. On top of stressing out about leaving Australia, he thought that he had to leave the Program.
But to his utter surprise, not only did Clueo Clinical team continue to help him complete the program, but we also supported him every step of the way until he landed the job in the new country and beyond as promised.
“Your transition to industry is 100% guaranteed with Clueo Clinical Exclusive Signature Industry-Bridging Programs.”
CLUEO CLINICAL
Raphael became more determined to succeed and continued to work hard and implemented all the tips and strategies learnt through this unique program.
Since he joined Clueo Clinical CRA-IBP program, he started receiving multiple interview offers from recruiters. In March 2021, 6-months after he started, Raphael was offered not one (1) but two (2) CRA positions from contract research organizations (CRO) for him to choose from, despite all the initial skepticisms from his friends and colleagues.
Following careful considerations and by following Clueo Clinical career coaching negotiation strategies, Raphael has decided to join Clinchoice – a smaller CRO – but with excellent career growth opportunities. Raphael will be starting his new and exciting journey in early May 2021.
Can you relate to Raphael’s story? Do you want to achieve the same success to break into the Pharmaceutical industry as a CRA despite having no industry experience? Start your industry career transition NOW with Clueo Clinical Industry-Bridging Program.
