Health Careers With Dr. Marn

Every researcher knows the pains of having to go through the process of getting your proposals approved, most especially in the medical field, where almost everything involves life and death situations. Playing a vital role in this are IRB managers. They are the ones who are responsible for helping researchers think about their studies and, likewise, patients who undergo clinical trials. In this episode, Dr. Richard Marn, M.D. interviews Marilyn Eshikena, who is the IRB Manager at Mount Sinai. Together, they explore the tasks of IRB Managers, the rewarding parts of the job, and the misconceptions surrounding them. Marilyn then takes us to the day in the life of an IRB Manager and then shares what one needs to have when trying to pursue this area.
