While his work is always changing to adapt to industry needs, a typical day for ACPHS grad Salah El-Saheb involves working with biostatisticians, data scientists and clinical operations. Salah is Executive Director, Evidence Generation Leader at Genentech and his goal is to find more efficient and effective ways to conduct drug trials to bring therapies out to patients as quickly as possible. While the work is complicated, his underlying desire is ultimately to get help to those who are sick with as little discomfort on their part as possible. His skill at partnering with medical colleagues to benefit patients comes from his experience in understanding drugs and his own patient interactions. In this episode of Occupation Station, Salah talks about the work and the education that prepared him for his current role. He also has advice for students about fellowships and preparing for industry careers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
