Meet Rudolf Malle, who completed our Clinical Trial Management program and is currently working as Oncology Clinical Trials Manager at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York.

Please share a little about yourself 

I am a clinical research professional with experience in diverse therapeutic areas.  I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from University of Buea in Africa, after which I came to the United States and completed Medical Assistant certificate program.  I was working as Medical Assistant in a private practice when a colleague informed me about Sollers.

What do you like about your experierence with Sollers?

I had very limited knowledge about clinical research when I first contacted Sollers.  The admissions team was professional, approachable and enthusiastic to guide me and share career prospects in clinical research.  I like that they were attentive and professional.

Did anything surprise you about your experience with Sollers?

Yes, actually. Since I’d never heard about Sollers, I didn’t know what to expect. Overall experience was great, but what I found particularly surprising is the dedication of professors in my success; they gave me time and were always available to guide me. I was also surprised that the career services team started building my resume just within few months of my starting the program.

What are your career goals / future plans?

After completing the Clinical Trials Management program, I immediately found placement as Clinical Trials Manager with Weill Cornell in New York. I am very interested in clinical research and hence pursuing my Master’s in Clinical Research / Pharmacovigilance.

Do you have any advice / tips for prospective students?

I’d say do your research. Although there are many short training programs in clinical research, I found Sollers College as the only approved institution that provides training on industry tools and exposure to industry projects, which are very vital to get a job when you don’t have prior experience. Clinical research is a career of the future, so make an informed decision.
