Today we’d like to introduce you to Jovanna Schlossenberg.
Hi Jovanna, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I was fortunate enough to get my start in the industry, due to my mother’s influence at a young age. We were avid readers in our home and it allowed me the opportunity to be thrust into a world of diversity in an early age. After college, my plan was to work in a corporate setting providing human resource services. I love people and I’ve always liked advocating for them. Clinical research allows me the opportunity to advocate on behalf of thepatient and physician when representing then, in front of our pharmaceutical partners. I take my position serious and try to make change daily. We are constantly keeping ourselves educated, informed and connected with our community so that we may bring them the best options as it pertains to their healthcare. Today, our team is in the process of making sure clinical research is a conversation inside of Healthcare Systems so that our patients know their their Alternative forms to their health care. We’ve created patient recruitment tools to support connecting with our patient prior to the clinical trial and we are involved in our community from newborn to seniors. Research is for everyone it is all inclusive and our job is to make sure everyone is included.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
The road to sustainability has not been smooth but neither is research. Healthcare industry is not a smooth process, it is rigorous and requires your full attention and detail. Struggles along the way have been when our team was unable to give our full attention and not setting up a system to catch the details. We’ve had issues with patient recruitment, contracts and budgets and overall support. However, I don’t think that there is an industry that hasn’t suffered the setbacks. The point, is it doesn’t matter what you do they will always be an obstacle or task. Your job, is to navigate, state of course, do not stop being receipt of all lessons as they are all learning lessons. When you fail, fall forward. The following forward is your superpower. The amount of strength, grit and determination it takes to stand straight and embrace for impact which is change is powerful.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am a chief executive officer, for a contract research organization. We provide into in project management for our pharmaceutical partners. We help them identify patients in our community who meet inclusion qualifications and none of our exclusions, which in return allows them the opportunity to participate in clinical research. We work directly with physicians at hospitals, specialty clinics, assisted living communities, schools and other Outreach programs to get to the heart of our community and let them know what options they have available as it pertains to their healthcare. We specialize in people and caring about their needs. It’s our job to make sure the patient, physician and our pharmaceutical Partners needs are all taken care of. At the end of the day, we are problem solvers. The patient’s problem is solved by us as a team making sure they know of their choices in the advancement of medication for the diseases they are directly being affected by. We are problem solving for the positions as we put them in close connection with medications, their community of patients in pharmaceutical partners who they work with throughout their career. We are problem solvers for pharmaceutical partners because they have a need to connect to the community to provide them their contribution to Medicine. Together our teams, bring new and approved medicines to market and contribute to the Continuum of patient care. I love my job I’m thankful for my mother who was a strong influence as she was a clinical research associate which required strong attention to detail, professionalism and will. I watched her growing up take care of our community in the healthcare sector, she was kind, welcoming and she cared. I never forgot it our team built a foundation around caring for our community.
What was your favorite childhood memory?
My favorite childhood memory was receiving my automated and talking Mickey Mouse doll. It was the Christmas of 1986 and the only thing I went to bed thinking about 4 months was this talking Mickey Mouse doll. I didn’t really understand Christmas I just knew that the colder it got that meant pretty soon we’re going to be opening presents. I saw the Box it didn’t look like clothes or shoes and I attacked it. On the other side of it was the talking Mickey Mouse doll I’ve never in my life experience such optimal joy. It was my first experience of loving something that was all mine. I would take that experience and try to replicate it for others throughout my childhood into my adulthood. The joy of making someone happy by paying attention to what makes you happy is invaluable. The thing I love the most about my Mickey Mouse doll was that I got to love and adore it, at my speed. When others were outside playing I was listening to the tapes and reading the books it came with. My interest have always been personal and the gift of my Mickey Mouse doll was the first time I was able to feel as though my thoughts mattered.
