Currently, I am working for ICON Development Solutions® as a Senior Clinical Research Associate performing and coordinating all aspects of clinical monitoring. This is a bit of a change from my previous monitoring experience, as we work with a variety of pharmaceutical companies. This is essentially the same job as before, but there are new therapy areas to learn and many different standard operating procedures to work with! It is a new challenge for me, but I have been enjoying it.

Prior to working at ICON, I was employed as a Clinical Research Associate at Pfizer, Inc. I monitored Phase I and 2A studies in the Study Management group. We were working with all therapeutic groups on a variety of new drugs. Unfortunately, I can't share with you all that I did, however, feel free to visit the Pfizer home page to learn more about the world's largest pharmaceutical company. While at Pfizer, I was working as a contract employee through Epcom Corporation. They provide employees to numerous companies, mostly in computer technologies. Visit their web page to learn more about them.

Previously, my job at the University of Michigan Health System in the Department of Radiology was Manager of Clinical Trials. I oversaw the conduct of clinical trials for the Department of Radiology. I supervised a staff of five clinical research assistants, interpreted and implemented investigational protocols, and was responsible for pre-award activity.

In addition to managing the Clinical Trials division, I also was responsible for coordinating several clinical research studies of my own. My duties as a clinical research coordinator included assisting in preparation for site visits, coordinating data intake and tracking of all study patients, maintaining and completing case report forms, copying and forwarding x-ray films as necessary, and maintaining the patient tracking database for device studies. A majority of the studies I coordinated were with Dr. David Williams in Interventional Radiology. These studies all involved the use of a stent to treat vascular disease.
