Behavioral Technical Presentation

So, the whole thing started with a quick chat with HR, just to see if I was a fit. After that, I had a more technical chat with the main investigator (the PI) and the lead coordinator. The last part was a panel interview where I had to talk about my knowledge of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines and how I approach patient recruitment. They were really focused on how I'd manage all the paperwork and documentation, especially when things were due fast.
