Cardiovascular, Metabolic
& Critical Care (CMCC)
As a CRA with specific experiences, traits, and goals, you are unique. So is Cardiovascular, Metabolic & Critical Care. All three of our areas provide unusual opportunities to develop your skills. Our Cardiovascular trials last longer and are more complex, so you’ll get to know and manage your sites and expand your skill set. Metabolic disease trials cover a broad range of indications, including ultra-rare diseases that provide exciting challenges and professional exposure. And Critical Care trials encompass all of our hospital-based, acute-care indications, meaning a hospital background is helpful. Regardless of where you contribute, your work will further our mission of helping our customers deliver life-changing therapies.
best-fit characteristics
Cardiovascular, Metabolic and Critical Care is the perfect area for CRAs looking to develop many new skills. If you can thrive under pressure, including low enrollment rates and rapid enrollment processes, you’ll do well here. This is the right place for you if you would like exposure to quality data and potential for continual data-cleaning exposure, want to increase your knowledge of complex indications, and seek to broaden your expertise in an array of diagnostic methods and techniques.
Your attributes and experience
Due to the fact that our Critical Care trials involve all of our hospital-based, acute-care indications, you’ll need a hospital background and a knack for creative thinking to assist our sites in recruiting. Depending on client need, you might be a good fit if you have experience as a study coordinator, nurse, respiratory therapist, pharmacist or another type of clinical science background.
Skills you can attain here
Career-development opportunities vary by client. Depending on your background, you may gain an understanding of the physiology of the brain and its functions; experience in rare-disease trials including ALS, Duchenne’s, Down’s Syndrome; and knowledge about innovations in patient recruitment, including the Healthy Minds Registry for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, MS, schizophrenia, glaucoma and others. You can also gain experience working with compounds from early engagement through to submissions, become a subject-matter expert in a specific indication, and work across the PPD family.
