Research interview help

Hi,

I have been working in gastroenterology for a few years and completed my masters in advanced practice. I have been contemplating moving into research as I love the projects and managing the process. I am also too curious for my own good :yes:

Can anyone give me some pointers for a role as a research nurse, what to think about during the interview?

I have been asked to complete a presentation

"In your role of Research Nurse, what strategies would you implement to develop the clinical trials portfolio and improve patient recruitment to intervention studies?"

I would have thought it was about opportunities and threats. Also about promoting good practice and the benefits of being involved in research on future care. Being able to benchmark and provide insight into new medical advances?

Any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated. I am a bit nervous as it is a new field but am really keen to have a challenge.

Thanks

    Hi,

    Some things to think about during an interview are:

    the types of clinical trials you'll be working on

    how many studies you're expected to manage

    responsibility of regulatory requirements

    availability of support staff (data managers, clinic nurses, regulatory coordinators, etc.)

    budgeting and contracts

    recruitment

    Typical day/week at the office

    type of orientation and training

    percentage of travel (to investigaors meetings or conferencs)

    As far as your presentation: there are CROs (contract research organizations) that can help with organizations trying to expand their study portfolio, search for studies, help with developing protocols, etc. Patient recruitment can involve teaching physicians about avialble protocols, advertising in clinics, screening medical records, or attending rounds or tracking meetings to see if any new patients might be eligible.
