On the road for MEDIACC

“I have been working as a doctor at MEDIACC for a year, a competent partner for monitoring and carrying out clinical studies.

As part of my doctoral thesis, which I am writing at Charité in parallel, I was offered a stay abroad in Bangkok a few months ago. This opportunity appealed to me very much, but at the same time presented me with the challenge of having to work remotely at MEDIACC in the future.

Fortunately, I received support from MEDIACC in this project immediately after the decision was made. The departure to Bangkok was imminent and I had to be equipped with the necessary technology and know-how for remote work within a very short period of time. I was supported and promoted by the entire team.

Thanks to the well-thought-out programs and work processes at MEDIACC, I am now able to work seamlessly as a team and at the same time to operate independently from Bangkok. This flexibility is invaluable to me, as it allows me to continue to fulfill my professional obligations while moving closer to the goal of completing my dissertation. My work includes conducting patient interviews and handling sensitive data. As a doctor, I see it as my central task to ensure the well-being of my patients. Due to the strict data security measures, I can also do this from Bangkok.

I've been here in Thailand for several weeks now. Everything is new and strange, which can sometimes be challenging. I am all the more grateful that I can also work remotely with the people I know from working in Berlin at MEDIACC. The support from my team has helped me get used to it quickly and focus on my work.

Overall, I am very grateful for the support and effort that Dr. Schmidt-Lucke in particular has invested as my supervisor so that I can complete this stay abroad. The opportunity to work internationally while pursuing my academic goals is a valuable experience that advances my professional development.

I am looking forward to continuing to be part of the MEDIACC team and working together on innovative solutions in clinical research — no matter where I am. ”
