"Clinical research is one of the fastest growing industries that you can possibly join as a career path. As a mother of two beautiful daughters, I knew that I wanted to provide them with an abundant future. After some research, I decided to apply for the program, and I was accepted. I graduated in May 2017, did an internship at the UA Cancer Center and was hired there. Now I work for Honor Health as a regulatory coordinator."
