Drug Safety Associate Interview Question:

Explain me what is a typical day for you?

Submitted by: Muhammad

I'm not sure there is one! For me there are two distinct parts of the safety role – the day to day part of the role (which mainly focuses on the handing of safety reports) and the cross-functional part of the role (which mainly focuses on how the safety function can add value in the cross-functional settting).
The day to day part of the role can be routine but the volume and nature of the reports we receive always presents a challenge to ensure that the reports are processed in a timely manner and to the high standards that are expected. At the same time, members of the team can be working on cross-functional projects with our colleagues in the medical affairs or sales and marketing function, or they can be working on cross-industry initiatives.
