      "I bring hospital experience. I understand the way doctors and healthcare professionals think and work. I have had direct contact with patients, and I have experience looking at medical records and electronic patient records. I believe most CRAs bring CRO experience, however, I bring the experience from the other side of the fence, the more clinical aspect of the job, which allows me to better connect with physicians to get the best of them in an environment I am familiar with, helping me to be more efficient as a CRA."
