Are you an ambitious CRA looking to advance your career based on your progression rather than the time you have spent in your role? The DOCS team at ICON might be the ideal place for you to realise your ambitions. Join this webinar to hear from four members of our team as they share insights and advice from their experience. You will hear directly from two people, who have advanced from CRA, speak about how they became a Project Manager and a Clinical Trial Manager in less than 2 years. You will also hear from two of our team managers about how they support high potential CRAs to progress fast and have the opportunity to ask questions of the team.

I am an experienced clinical trial manager with over 10 years in clinical and basic research. I joined ICON in 2016 as a CRA in a dedicated FSP partnership and was promoted to regional clinical trial manager (RCTM) in 2019, where I managed Phase 1/2 studies. Currently, as a GECDM, I manage several global Phase 1, First-in-Human studies. I have gained research experience across more than five therapeutic areas in various capacities in both traditional and risk based monitoring. I have had the opportunity to mentor more than 10 CRAs, 5 RCTMs, one GECDM and co-mentored a summer pharmacy intern. Consistently recognized by ICON for delivering high-quality results, meeting deadlines and efficiently managing resources.
