Week 7

So within the past few days, I've had the biggest stroke of luck. My project was halted when I was told that our manuscript most likely would not be approved until after the end of our SRP. I can officially say that is no longer the case, as I learned quite recently that our manuscript made it in time for the monthly review and the review committee endorsed us!
The next step that Dr. Steidley and I have to take is to have a teleconference with the Senior Director of Global Medical Affairs, Rare Disease, and Global Innovative Products for Pfizer, Inc. We'll be talking to him next Friday to discuss how we can get the information and analysis for our study. It's such a relief to know that all the work you've put in for a project like this is finally paying off.

I didn't do much this week due to unforeseen issues that we're out of our control. All I did this week was spending six hours preparing on the presentation that I will give at the Mustang Library at the end of my project and preparing for the national meeting that Dr. Steidley and I will go to later in the year.

I apologize for this week's blog post for being so short. I know that next week I'm going to transition into a more research-oriented role at the Mayo Clinic, besides observing the ICU and in-clinic patients. I feel that next week will be even more satisfying in terms of my personal growth and my project's development. So until then, have a great week!
