Field Meeting Reflection

As a former physician assistant student, I am confident that my PA education will help me contribute to Mission Hospital’s Clinical Research team. During my PA courses, I learned about the steps of the drug development process, from Target Identification and Validation to Library and Preclinical Testing through FDA Approval. We also spent time analyzing the financial considerations of the drug development process as well as the ethical issues involved. Covered coursework included topics but are not limited to:

• Drug Discovery / Preclinical Testing • Clinical Trial Phases
• FDA Review / Approval Process • Phase IV – post-marketing testing
• Medical Ethics and Current Healthcare Issues • Conducting Studies and Incorporating Human Protections
•
Further, I strongly believe that my analytical background in finance, combined my medical training and coursework will aid me in the Clinical Research role. Finally, as a business professional, I have successfully demonstrated my capability to work in difficult and challenging situations while maintaining the utmost respect for all those I interact with while working diligently to build strong working relationships with all stakeholders.

I look forward to the opportunity to discuss my interests in Clinical Research and how I can be a valuable team member at Mission Hospital. I can be reached at 832-746-8275 and [e-mail]. Thank you for your
