One of the first interviews devoted to the pharma industry featured Dr. Laura McKain in September 2021. Dr. McKain received her medical degree from Georgetown University in Washington, DC, and completed her training in obstetrics and gynecology at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia.
She was in private practice for over twelve years where her clinical interests included wellwomen care, contraception, HPV, menopause management, as well as general and high-risk obstetrics. In 2008 she transitioned her career to the pharmaceutical industry where she was involved in clinical development projects encompassing a broad range of therapeutic areas. She was involved in bringing two new therapeutics to market.
She recently retired from full-time work and is now focused on helping other physicians find new nonclinical careers. She is a career coach and resumé expert at mckainconsulting.com. Laura is the founder of the Physician Nonclinical Career Hunters Facebook Group. With almost 30,000 members, it is the premier group where physicians connect with other physicians, share advice, find job openings, and obtain valuable advice and mentorship about nonclinical careers.
In today’s interview, Laura and I will be talking about strategies for finding a pharma job in the area of Clinical Development.
