Regional Clinical Research Associate @ As a CRA I manage activities of clinical investigative sites ensuring successful execution of the study protocols. I am responsible for complex studies with 18 sites requiring oversight of operational issues. I conduct clinical site monitoring visits across multiple protocols and multiple therapeutic areas, ensuring studies are conducted according to all applicable local regulations and business processes. I conduct site qualification, initiation, interim monitoring and study close out visits for Phase 1-4 studies. I also ensure regulatory inspection readiness at assigned clinical sites. From May 2015 to Present (8 months) Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina AreaProject Specialist-Oncology @ I support the Project Manager (PM) to ensure the contracted services and expectations of a clinical study are carried out by the assigned project team in accordance with the executed contract and the Customer’s expectations. I tracks and analyze project details, as well as maintain internal systems for assigned projects within a therapeutic area. I am responsible for assuring compliance with local regulations, Code of Federal Regulations/International Conference of Harmonization (ICH), Good Clinical Practices (GCP) guidelines, and Company and Sponsor Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). I also mentor and coach site activation staff in specialized areas of expertise (e.g., ICF/IB/IRB/Advertising review teams). Utilize designated clinical trial management system to track and process clinical trial information, (e.g., regulatory documents, enrollment, Adverse Events (AEs)/Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), protocol deviations, supplies, Institutional Review Board re-approvals, data queries) in order to provide analysis of information to PM. From December 2014 to Present (1 year 1 month) Clinical Trials Assistant @ I very briefly worked as a clinical trial assistant for the Emergency Medicine Department at UNC Hospitals until funding to support my salary ended. I was primarily responsible for recruiting and coordination of three separate studies: 1) an NIH NAID Influenza study designed to find a better way to diagnose and treat severe cases of H1N1, specifically comparing standard treatment with a combined treatment of oseltamivir and two infusions of plasma enriched with antibodies against the virus, 2) an AstraZeneca study investigating the treatment paradigms for symbicort in preventing COPD and asthma exacerbations, 3) a CroFab study investigating its effectiveness as anti-venom against copperhead bites. I also assisted with the coordination and RNA extraction for a postdoctoral study on the genetics of aging and the role of mRNA. Although my time working in ER medicine was brief, I learned a lot about medicine and industry driven clinical trials. My job and responsibilities included: recruiting patients, screening and scheduling patients, enrolling patients, taking medical histories, vitals, performing blood draws, consenting study participants, clinical assessments, and study drug administration, IRB submissions and modifications, and communicating with sponsors. From January 2014 to April 2014 (4 months) Clinical Research Coordinator @ Working at the UNC Diabetes Care Center provided a lot of opportunities for patient contact. These studies were industry-driven cardiac outcome studies investigating the use of new anti-diabetic drug therapies. The Intarcia study, sponsored by Intarcia, investigates the use of a subdermal implant to administer the GLP-1 drug, Exenatide which is an analog of Byetta. The Sustain study, sponsored by Novo Nordisk, investigates the use of a once weekly injectable analog of the drug Victoza. These drugs are designed to help with patient compliance and satisfaction, as the drugs that are currently on the market are daily injections. My job and responsibilities included: recruiting patients, screening and scheduling patients, enrolling patients, taking medical histories, vitals, performing blood draws, consenting study participants, clinical assessments, and study drug administration, study device administration, IRB submissions and modifications, and communicating with sponsors. From June 2013 to December 2013 (7 months) Clinical Research Coordinator @ I had some very rewarding experiences working with patients and Dr. Belger's research team. Dr. Belger’s lab investigates the functional neuroanatomy of stimulus and response selection deficits in schizophrenia. This research uses multimodal imaging to fronto- striate circuits in familial high-risk individuals to find intermediate phenotypes for schizophrenia. I coordinated the Conte-II, NAPLS, Mindfulness based stress reduction, and SEP studies. I am co-authored on two publications from this lab (“Stress Reactivity in Persons at Familial Risk for Schizophrenia” published in Neuropsychopharmacology in November of 2011, and “Differences in regional subcortical structures in young adolescents at familial risk for schizophrenia: a preliminary study” published in Psychiatry Research Neuroimaging in 2012). My job and responsibilities included: recruiting both healthy controls and patient populations, screening and scheduling patients, consenting study participants, organizing and recording patient information (including taking medical histories, vitals, and blood draws), performing neurocognitive testing, clinical assessments, EEGs, MRIs, data analysis, medical writing, grant and manuscript preparation. From May 2010 to May 2012 (2 years 1 month) Health Unit Coordinator @ I have six years of extensive experience working in clinical settings. I worked as an HUC at UNC Hospitals on both medical and surgical floors. Through working at the hospital I have gained valuable experience with patient interaction, scheduling follow-up appointments for patients, transcribing medications, ordering patient equipment, assisting with patient transportation, filing medical records, greeting, and helping family and visitors during their stay at the hospital. While working at UNC Hospitals I have become skilled at fluidly multitasking in emergency settings and have enjoyed being part of the health care team. As an HUC, I was exposed to the delivery of health care in a hospital setting in its entirety. I have seen everything from open heart surgery, families mourning, to food delivery, and laboratory blood draws. I got to see the intricacies of the health care team in full force. I saw and helped with transcribing medical orders, answering patient’s and family’s questions and concerns, sitting and talking with dying patients, and talking to families of patients who were going to experience critical surgery. I brought ice, water, tissues, food, and blankets to patients. I have seen doctors round countless times (one time they even let me present a case). I have helped nurses with many tasks-dressing changes, patient transport, paging doctors, calling patient's family members, and preparing bodies for the morgue, etc. I have helped prepare death packets, and walked interns through the paperwork process. I have personally traversed every hall of the hospital transporting patients and retrieving supplies for nurses and patients. This experience led to a very deep appreciation for the amount of work and effort that goes into caring for patients. From August 2006 to December 2011 (5 years 5 months) Clinical Research Assistant @ My experience here was invaluable. I presented my findings concerning chronic versus episodic irritability in youth as features of bipolar disorder or ADHD at the 2010 NCPA poster session. My poster won first-place and I was awarded a $500 grant to go to the 2010 NCPA/NCPF Fall CE Conference. I later created a poster titled: "Which Irritability Measures Differentiate between Diagnoses of ADHD and BPD in Youths." This poster was one of 25 chosen nationally to be presented at the ABCT SIG conference at San Francisco in November of 2010. I was awarded a travel grant of $1500 to travel to present my research. I learned that with hard work, perseverance, and follow-through I could accomplish even auspicious goals. I find research to be invigorating. I enjoy data entry, but I especially love conducting data analysis and writing about my findings. From April 2009 to December 2010 (1 year 9 months) Summer on the Edge Clinical Research Assistant @ I worked for a summer in the pharmacology lab at the Duke Cancer Institute researching the cancer drug melphalan and isolated limb perfusion. During this amazing research experience through Summer on the Edge I got to work with a really great and enthusiastic research team that exposed me to micropipetting, preparing human samples, using HPLC, and working in a clinical laboratory setting. I worked full time and completed this internship with a presentation about my research findings. From May 2004 to August 2005 (1 year 4 months)
