I like clinical research, but HATE being a CRC. Advice for a looking for an alternative job?

Hi, so as the title states, I’ve been a CRC for only 8 months and I hate it. What I dislike the most is having to deal with patients. I hate playing phone tag with them and having to act like a used cars salesman to enroll them in studies. It saps my energy and the PI I work with is rarely available, which causes poor work flow.

I had taken the job because I was hopeful of transitioning into a career in pharma. Prior to this I finished a PhD in public health. So I already have a lot of research experience, but not clinical research.

I also had similar issues with the PhD, in that I disliked having to recruit and deal with participants. What I do like is writing the manuscripts for publication.

I’ve tried looking for jobs as a medical writer, because I think I could see myself doing that. But all of them require experience. Are there any entry level writing positions? Or what would you guys suggest as alternative jobs?

Thanks for your time - if anyone reads this…
