How does working in clinical trials and as a nurse affect one’s perspective on compliance? What is the right balance between gaining experience in preparation for a role vs jumping in and doing it in the role itself? How can consideration for what led to something help better understand reasons for compliance? How does life experience and mentoring add to the in-job experience in preparing you for a role? How to maintain wellness in a state of being “always on” and the value of stepping away from the screen? What’s exciting and what’s on tap from the next generation of compliance professionals as they continue to grow in the field?
