medical officer fda

[Anonymous]

Thank you for the inputs. Do you negotiate salary?

I am a possible single mom, so I am considering making the move because the demands of practice, even in academia, seem to be too much.

Anyone who left the FDA as a medical officer and joined pharma?

In CDER yes. Many other FDA centers do not see drugs at all.

No. From what I know, "Medical officer" = MD + residency completed in US. Others, including foreign-trained physicians without a US residency, can apply for non "medical officer" positions.
