Finished undergrad in Genetics May 2022. Started clinical research career in Feb. 2023 as a Research Assistant & will be promoted to Coordinator by Dec. (I'll stay as that for some time). I intend on starting graduate school by 2026, and I'm debating between MBA vs MHA.
For anyone that can answer:
How long have you been in clinical research?
Did you do MBA or MHA (or something similar)?
Pros/Cons?
Did you benefit from it? Regrets?
Did you take out loans or was it paid for?
Anything else to add?
