Physician NonClinical Careers with John Jurica


Aug 17, 2021

Dr. Marsha Caton obtained her M.S. in Biology and Ph.D. in Human and Molecular Genetics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. She has worked in the pharmaceutical industry for many years and is an expert in managing NDA submission teams and delivery of regulatory documents for drug approval.

She has expertise in medical writing, medical affairs, pharmacovigilance processes, health authority responses, and regulatory guidelines. Her experience working in pharma runs the gamut from scientific consultant, medical writer, and clinical research associate, to medical affairs specialist and pharmacovigilance scientist.

Pharma is a huge industry, with thousands of physicians working in dozens of different job categories. And some of these jobs can be filled by physicians with almost any background and experience if certain strategies are implemented.

Today we get the perspective of a Ph.D. who has worked in several companies, at different levels. She applies what she has learned to help physicians break into Clinical Development, a challenging field to break into. As she points out, however, it can be done with some planning, networking, and adjustments to your resumé.
