Would like insight into choosing between two clinical research coordinator positions for:
1. CRC at Nursing School
A little bit about me (if this helps):
I'm a non-traditional student that has extensive clinical experience (i.e. medical assisting and other clinical roles) as well as non-medical professional experience. Having just finished a gpa-repair post-bacc at a prestigious school where I earned a 3.76 in my last 32 credits - had a 3.1 in undergrad - I will be working full-time this next year while I study for the MCAT and eventually apply to medical schools come May 2021. Fortunately, I was offered these two different positions listed above at the same school where I completed my post-bacc.
Any insights or concerns with regard to choosing one over the other would be much appreciated!
1. CRC at Nursing School
- Study participants are all Spanish speaking patients of lower socioeconomic demographic who I will be working with directly
- the study itself fits my narrative as a Spanish-speaking individual and prior experience working with lower socioeconomic Spanish-speaking patients in the US.
- Slightly better pay
- study not affiliated with med school
- COVID-related global study - a similar amount of direct patient interaction, but broader participant demographic so not just focused on the Spanish speaking population.
- the study also fits my narrative, but not specifically to working with Spanish-speaking patients. Rather, working with globally dispersed teams where I will leverage speaking Spanish i.e. communicating and coordinating with other health professionals and teams based in Spanish-speaking countries, and with patients on an as-needed basis.
- slightly less pay
- study directly affiliated with med school
