I work in a large hospital setting we have our own internal drives and networks and programs so we don’t need to use an outside application like Google, etc. I couldn’t tell you about those types since I never used them.

The answer is YES, I do agree. Most doctors have had some research experience of some sort while residents, and especially as fellows. Fellowships in a specialty last anywhere from a year to 4 years and usually include research of some kind or another. I agree sub I’s stand a good chance of becoming a PI if they have been sub I’s on a handful of trials. It’s all about the CV. This is what Sponsors look at – the CV and the research experience on it.

Agree that a shared drive is great. My site uses a shared drive. You just have to make sure all the folders on it are clearly named with the protocol name. Then have “sub-folders” called “Consents”, “Full Protocol”,”IRB”, “Sponsor Letters”, “List of Subjects”, etc.
