what do you want to do as your job? a lot of roles in med affairs require PhD but they are extremely different in nature.
Like interacting with HCPs / KOLs? Cultivating relationships with difficult people? Being on the road frequently? Consider MSL.
Like scientific writing? Understanding new therapeutic areas and clinical implications? Drafting and re-drafting? Analyzing data? Consider Pubs/Sci Comm.
and so on.
Not all roles in MA are the same. Do your homework.

I am a clinical research coordinator working in Austin, Texas. I have my Masters in Cell & Molecular Biology and have a year of laboratory research experience.

I’ve been in my position for 5 months now. I make $27 hourly which amounts to about $51,000 yearly. Am I being under paid? Are all coordinator positions hourly? As a laboratory researcher I was salary :(

How do I go about asking for a raise or should I explore other companies or medical schools that have clinical research?

I’m looking to transition from an academic medical center to pharma or a biotech. I have about 8 years of clinical research experience overall — 7 years combined as a CRC (CRC I, CRC II, and senior CRC) and 1 year as a PM. I’m also recently ACRP-CP certified.

I’ve worked with many different industry-sponsors and CROs throughout the years, but many jobs I am applying to require experience at a biotech/CRO/pharma company. Would really appreciate any advice or referrals. Thanks in advance!
