Why this is worth applying to
Worth considering for clinicians with implementation science, outcomes research, or healthcare consulting experience who want a senior non-clinical research leadership path. It is likely a stretch for early-career clinicians or those without project leadership and client-facing research experience.
Who should apply
Physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and allied health professionals with MPH/PhD-level research training, implementation science or quality improvement experience, health services research backgrounds, or prior pharma/HEOR consulting exposure.
CV angle
Frame clinical experience around care-delivery workflow knowledge, stakeholder engagement, quality improvement, protocol/study design, mixed-methods research, publications, project management, and client-facing deliverables. Emphasize measurable research leadership, implementation barriers, evidence generation, and collaboration with multidisciplinary teams rather than listing only clinical duties.
Skills to highlight
- implementation science
- mixed-methods research
- qualitative and quantitative study design
- project management
- stakeholder engagement
- patient-centered outcomes research
- evidence generation
- client communication
Role summary
