Maybe somewhere in a strategy team (ie how and when to communicate to consumers..aka doctors/hospitals)? Or get into consulting at a life science firm who works in hospital /provider work space by leveraging your background, and then pivot into more pharma whether it’s oncology, neuro, cardio etc. may be an indirect route rather direct

I would love to but im experiencing difficulty due to my lack of CRA experience. Ive interviewed at Norvartis for patient navigator recently and im awaiting response. They did send me a conflict of interest form so im hopeful! Wish me luck!!!
