A day in the life of a Clinical Project Manager in the United States
Where I hope to be in 5 years
I would like to eventually work at the executive level in clinical development at a biotech.
My advice to students considering work
Don't be hell bent on the idea of a career in academia. Industry has rewarding career paths also. Seek out people currently working in drug development and make connections early on. It is not a career path that one trains for - it is most often stumbled upon.
My advice about working in my industry

What I do
I manage Phase I (first in man, proof of concept) to Phase IV clinical trials in CNS. As a clinical project manager in the biotechnology sector I work with a number of other key players including data managers, biostatisticians, MDs, pharmacists, and a number of vendors. Much of my job is facilitating communication among the parties involved in the process. However, as I tend to work for small companies, I have ample opportunity to get my geek on by analyzing data, conducting literature reviews, and developing metrics for examining various aspects of in-trial performance.
What I like most
I like having my finger on the pulse of a pivotal clinical trial.
What I like least
Regulatory nuances.
