大家好，我是临研圈内容合作官Daisy Lin，进入行业已经快5年了，现在某Global CRO 公司做SCRA的工作，很荣幸能够和临研圈合作，借助这样的平台和大家分享一些我认为有意思的文章，初步设想日后主要分享的方向分两种：1）一些行业的专业知识，尤其是我个人的一点点经验；2）我看到的一些有意思的文章；

今天跟大家分享的就是一篇很有意思的文章，相信大家和我一样好奇，临床研究行业到底男女比例是怎样的？为什么女生这么多？国外这一行业男女如何？

哈哈，别急如下是我看到的一篇很有意思国外的帖子，可以解答您这些疑惑（粗翻的中文仅供参考，如有异议，以英文为准

问题：我即将从BSCR毕业，我发现这个专业的女性非常多。我不是性别歧视，我只是好奇这个领域是不是都是这样的情况，如果是的话，为什么？谢谢！I am set to graduate soon with a BSCR and I have noticed a large amount of woman in this major. I don't mean to sound sexiest I am just curious if this carries over in the field. And if so why? Thanks!

回答：BSCR是什么？是你们学校对临床试验中生物样品（BS）的缩写吗？What is a BSCR? Is that your school's abbreviation for a BS in Clinical Research?

临床试验领域已经被女性占领了。对于需要学士学位和10年以下工作经验的职位(如CRC、CRA、团队/项目经理)，我估计这些职位中80%是女性，差不多这个数。The field of clinical research is dominated by women. For positions that require a bachelors and less than 10 years experience (like CRC, CRA, team/project managers), I would estimate these positions are filled by 80% women, give or take.

为什么？CRC或CRA工作最理想的候选人是拥有RN（注册护士）执照、BSN（美国护士四年制大学的学士学位）学位的人，而大部分的RN执照和BSN学位的持有者都是女性。Why? The most desirable candidate for a CRC or CRA job is someone with a RN, BSN and women are the predominant holders of this degree.

这是美国的情况，但在其他国家，比如印度，女性仍然受到非常多的压迫。由于CRA的工作需要经常出差，所以在印度，迫于社会压力和舆论压迫，女性监查员很少见。This is the case in the USA, but in other countries like India, for example, women are still much more oppressed. Because the CRA job requires so much travel, it is very infrequent to see an woman monitoring in India because of social pressure, oppression and expectations.

我知道这个领域的女性很多，我只是好奇原因。谢谢！I have no problem with women in the field I was just curious as why. Thanks!

临床研究领域已经被女性占领了。Clinical research is dominated by women.

我估计90%的CRC，80%的CRA，75%的CTM都是女性。我觉得男性最多的是事务监管和数据管理领域。I would estimate that 90% of CRCs, 80% of CRA, 75% of CTMs are women. I think the place where I see the most men is in regulatory affairs and in data management.

我想是因为护理经验是获得一个入门级职位的最好方式之一。I think the reason why is because nursing experience is one of the best ways to land an entry-level position.

顺便说一句，我建议不要在这里使用BSCR这个缩写，因为大家可能不知道它指的是什么。BTW, I don't recommend using the abbreviation BSCR out in the field because it isn't recognized in the field.

Mike，祝你求职顺利。我2010年就毕业了，现在还没找到工作。Hope your job hunt is going well Mike. I am a 2010 graduate and have found nothing yet.

说到这个领域被女性占领的部分原因，不是我性别歧视，但我真的一只手就能数过来我见过的擅长这份工作的男性监查员。我认为，原因是男性太善于分析。他们用了太多时间来分析，而不是埋头工作。他们花太多时间来讨论问题，而不是处理问题（上帝禁止你同时处理这两件事）。他们通常都不擅长同时处理多项任务，也不擅长管理自己的时间，而且注意力不集中。他们不能一整天不吃东西，哈哈哈。而且男性大多数也不那么善于沟通，与人打交道，无法与研究协调员建立良好的关系。老实说，这是男性与生俱来的特质，并不是性别歧视。在这个领域，我实在无法忍受和男性一起工作。在办公室工作时，我更喜欢和男性一起工作，因为他们通常更好相处。

Part of the reason this field is female-dominated, and not to sound sexist, but I could literally count on one hand the number of male monitors I have met who were good at their jobs. The reason, I believe, is that men are too analytical. They spend too much time analyzing, rather than just getting down and doing the work. They spend too much time talking about the issues rather than just doing something about it (God forbit you have two of them together in one room). They typically are not good at multi-tasking or managing their time, and they don't focus well. And they can't go a full day without eating (hahahaha). The men also tend to be less approachable and people-oriented and not able to forge good relationships with the study coordinators. Honestly this is the way men are hard-wired, it's not a sexist thing. I really cannot stand working with men in this field. In an office job, I prefer working with men because they generally are easier to get along with.

CRA中的RN/BSN只占很小的比例。Only a very small percentage of CRA's are RN/BSN's.

CRA几乎都是女性的真实原因是，成为CRA的入门级工作基本上都是被美化过的行政助理工作，没有人会雇一个男人来做这些事。曾经有两个招聘人员告诉过我这个。

一位女性在面试后告诉招聘我的工作人员，我“有点紧张”，哈哈哈。One lady after an interview told my recruiter than I was "kinda intense" lol.

CRA是一份美差，出于某些原因，尽管对科学或医学了解得很少，薪水却很不错。我之前在宾夕法尼亚大学的实验室工作，在生物医疗科学的前沿，收集和分析来自人类受试者的生物医学研究数据。在宾夕法尼亚大学和匹兹堡大学，我也做过研究协调员，所以我在研究设计、法规文件管理和建设方面有丰富的经验，但显然，我并不能成为葛兰素史克、科文斯等公司的CRA。

CRA is a pretty cushy job that for some reason pays well despite requiring very little understanding of science or medicine. My experience is on the frontlines of biomedical science collecting and analyzing biomed research data taken from human subjects in a lab setting at UPenn. I was also previously a research coordinator there and at Pitt, so I have plenty of experience in study design and regulatory document management and construction, but apparently I can't be a CRA for Glaxo, Covance, etc.

我和公司的CRA有过密切的合作，他们不仅不认真对待工作，而且还经常丢三落四的，就像还在女生联谊会上一样。

I've worked closely with corporate CRA's and not only does taking that job seriously seem to be optional, but they're also usually ditzes who talk like they're still in the sorority house.

我一直在学术界。钱少了点，但和聪明的人待在一起很好，他们不会在乎你的性别。我们这里有男性行政助理和研究协调员，也有女性研究技术人员和医生。

I've stayed in academia. The money's a little less but it's nice to be around bright minds who don't care if you're male or female. We have male administrative assistants and research coordinators here, and female research techs and physicians.

放过你自己，在公司里，不要费尽心力地去做一个男性CRA，你会被别人认为太实际、太坦率、太苛刻。说实话，我参加过3次面试，每次我都觉得自己是被关注的焦点。

Do yourself a favor: don't even bother trying to become a male CRA in corporate. You'll be seen as too practical, frank, and demanding. Honestly, I've had 3 interviews and I felt like I was on The View each time.

我是个男人，在转型为Lead CRA之前，我在这个领域有10年的监查经验。我一直与我负责的中心保持着良好的关系，很自豪地说，我已经理清了CRA工作中一些混乱的地方，修复了申办方和中心工作人员之间的关系。无论是在面试中还是在中心时，我从来没觉得身为男性会有所帮助。事实上，我从来没有想过这一点，我从来没有感受到任何偏见，我想是因为我总是过于专注于我的工作表现。直到现在，大部分和我一起工作的CRC都和我保持着良好的关系。这是一个很小的圈子，我很喜欢在专业活动中遇到他们，比如研究者会议和研讨会。男性/女性在每一种情况下都有不同的优势/劣势，关键是要利用你的优势来取胜，并管理好你的弱势。

I'm a guy, with ~ 10 years field monitoring experience , before transitioning to more of a Lead CRA role. I've always had great relationships with my sites & I'm proud to say I've cleaned up more than just a few CRA's messes, & repaired relationships between the sponsor & site staff, & I've never felt being a guy help me back, either at interviews or at sites. I never gave it a moments' thought actually & I've never felt any prejudice, I guess I've always been too focused on my presentation & performance. Most of the CRCs with whom I've had the privelege to work have good relationships with me, to this day. It's a small world & I enjoy seeing them at professional events such as Investigator Meetings & conferences. Men/women have different strengths/weaknesses that they bring into each situation, it's all about using your strengths to win & managing your weaknesses.
