For how long are they hiring you? Are you the coordinator for a particular project and will be done afterwards, or are you looking into getting hired long-term?I am scheduled to interview soon for a "clinical research coordinator job" at a big name University which has a large medical school and teaching campus. I have very little research experience but good clinical work, so I am surprised they interviewed me but I'm very thankful. When they ask what my future goals are, should I state that I am interested in the medical field and applying for an MD or MD/PHD down the road? I thought this would be an acceptable answer because I don't want to deceive them, and I think it shows passion for learning and knowledge. Does anyone have experience in this scenario?
The interview will be with a panel of 5 clinical research managers, not the PI or any physicians.

The important thing is to let them know you can commit for however long they want youThere was no indication of commitment length... Is this usually a contracted position? They stated I will coordinate about 15 projects at a time which seems like a lot. They are clinical trials for a large oncology department.
