>> My name is Racquel Bruton, and I am a Regional Study Manager at CLS Behring.
That's in the Department of Clinical Research and Development.
So it's like the equivalent of a clinical study manager, a clinical project manager,
and it's focused in the pharmaceutical industry.
So typically, a clinical study manager is responsible for starting,
running and completing a clinical trial -- like the overseeing and management.
Okay, so one trial that I recently completed was for Hizentra, is the trade name.
And it is the field of immunology, in which this is treating patients who have CVID,
Common Variable Immunodeficiency Disease.
And basically, these patients are missing proteins
that help them to live a normal, healthy life.
So our company provides the medication for patients that have rare diseases.
My job does require travel, because we have to sometimes go out.
There are other people that do this, but if you're managing the trial, you sometimes have
to go to the doctors, the specialists, the immunologists,
the hematologists that have these patients and visit their offices,
make sure the offices are real, make sure they can adequately execute a protocol,
they have the qualifications, they have the staff to run the trial.
And so that piece, you have to travel.
We also have to travel because clinical trials are global.
So sometimes there are meetings all over the world.
But a typical day for me is Monday through Friday, 8:30 to 5:00.
Our U.S. office is in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.
And I am managing timelines on global meetings, answering tons of emails,
preparing presentations, resolving issues.
