There are many considerations as to whether or not to focus one’s neurology career on conducting primary clinical research and clinical trials in multiple sclerosis (MS). While the milestones for earlier stages of training are relatively straightforward, identifying and prioritizing goals and steps towards them as an early faculty member is often more difficult.
To evaluate the pros and cons of a career in MS clinical research, to evaluate the typical elements of the career path, and to describe strategies to succeed.
This presentation will describe key elements of success in the early and middle stages of a career in MS clinical research.
There are several strategies one can employ to meet career milestones and overcome barriers, which will be discussed in detail during the presentation.
Developing a comprehensive understanding of the elements that require attention and development during a clinical research career provides for a successful and rewarding experience.
