People enter the clinical research industry in a number of ways and it is not necessarily a requirement to have a scientific or life science background. For example, some of our Clinical Trial Administrators have entered the role from a pure administration background from industries such as IT, finance and retail.

In other situations, individuals have decided to move into clinical research from industry related roles. For example sales representatives have become Clinical Research Associates (CRAs) and pharmacists have changed career direction by moving into roles within Medical Information.

At Phlexglobal we can advise you on the types of roles that are available, the skills and the experience that is needed. Where appropriate, we can provide the basic skills training to start you off on your chosen career path.
