I noticed that more than one discussion forum on the subject of espoirbridge, cereprotec, kriger, etc, has mysteriously disappeared. A discussion on indeed.com (http://www.indeed.com/forum/job/clinical-rese ... c137e1e737d4204)disappeared. Several pages of this discussion also disappeared.I'd like to invite people to continue the talk at http://rantawaythoseblues.blogspot.com/I created the space so that this discussion can continue, even if this particular thread is taken down. Please bookmark it!Hope to hear more from all of you.

Anute, if you curently work at a university, I would suggest the following: contact professors at the Department of medicine, health professions, Psychology/Neuroscience & Nursing to see if they have any research going on for which they need research assistants. You have better odds since you already work there.

About training, I would recommend you volunteer a lot. You need practical experience. Just helping out in a clincial study for 1 month goes a long way. Check if your university has a centre for clinical research - they would have training programs each month on different aspects of clinical research b/c the professionals need to stay up to speed too. The programs are free, though registration is generally required since seats are limited.

You only become a certified CRA after 2 yrs work experience. At this point, mentioning "CCRP or CCRA" on your resume will set you apart. Otherwise, you basically begin at an entry level position and work your way up.

Lastly, be proactive! Tell everyone you know that you are looking for work in this field. Search job banks, use google, set up career alerts, send out resumes even when not sollicited. Make sure you target your search and apply for positions for which you qualify.

oh my goodness.  I've actually spoken with Lisa Hoyea and we talked about the positions and kriger.  She later sent me an email saying that someone from Pharamalef wants to speak with me.  How can I report this as fraudelent.  My hopes were really up

Thank you for this information, glad I took the time to further research this company; something did feel right after seriouslu considering paying for this course certification.  Truly appreciate your public service about this scam.

People should also be wary of the following:http://medicaldevicesnews.com/http://regulatoryaffairstoday.com/These websites are very similar with some links to a "real" website concerning industry news, however other links are CLEARLY slanted toward Kriger, Cereprotex, ClinProxy, ClinQua, etc. An independant repubitable biotech news site would not try to drive its viewers toward certain companies, it would simply present jobs and related information. For a "real" website check out http://www.biospace.com/I did a search for Linkedin of Clinproxy and only two people showed up...very suspicious for a worldwide company.Please dont fall for these antics...I have worked for clinical organizations  for 10 years at Merck, Hoffman, to name a few...If a company is interested they will provide you with training for free. Or at least assist you finanically for any "specialized" training. I agree one should check out www.socra.org, www.acrpnet.org, and www.scdm.org for getting a start to getting into the clinical industry or further advancement. Not this Kriger scam.

Guys,I am heartbroken,So this Espoirbridge,kriger thing is a huge scam.No doubt I applied to a lot of companies,but i didn't get a single call from anyone and I paid $1300 for the course.And now I think about it this Cliniqa thing is a big scam too.I was sent an e-mail saying that there as a immediate need for clinical research people and I kept calling the San Dieago number like a fool over and over again but nothing.What do I do now,all my hopes crashed.I dont know what to do.Where do I go from here.
