I thought it was interesting that you said CD is not R&D. As you mentioned, preclinical RESEARCH is part of development and we use Clinical Research and Development when referencing the drug development process. R&D is a broad term that can be used to describe cosmetics, drug, or medical device research and development. The other thing you mentioned is entry level positions within clinical development is CRAs or CTAs but really most pharmDs start in operations (Study Manager) or clinical science (Clinical Scientist). As a CRA or CTA you have no hand in developing protocols, you are carrying out the protocol.

Hello Mam, I am a Pharmd graduate from india, i am currently working in IQVIA. Can you guide me what are my opportunities in outside countries like canada with this experience? How can i start my career in clinical research abroad with the experience i have?

[@dr.1956]

Thanks you for this video, it sounds very similar to the role of Clinical research associate jobs

Do you know of any type of positions in clinical development that pharmD students can do part-time throughout school? I just finished my P2 year and am interested in clinical development. I currently work for a PBM in their PA department. I also have a BS in pharmaceutical Sciences already

[@karisaschock6665]

Second question as well: What would you say are the differences in skills used in clinical development vs R&D?

[@ahmedbashir5682]

Do pharmacists work in quality control/assurance production?

[@FocusRx]

They can! But don’t as much I would say

[@RJG86X]

I want a high paying job when I get out of school. $170k+ in California.
I’m finishing my general education and need to lock in a major, do I go clinical, research, or Drug safety physician for my goal. Sorry my counselor is not to helpful.
