My journey at ICON: Medical Imaging Project Assistant
Taylor was new to the clinical research field when she joined ICON as a Medical Imaging Project
“The onboarding and interview process at ICON is very smooth”
About two weeks after I first applied, I was contacted to set up a phone interview, which was quickly followed by an in-person interview. The day after this interview, I was offered the Project Assistant position before starting at ICON two-and-a-half weeks later.
“The company and my colleagues have been very welcoming”
My first day at ICON went smoothly – I met my team, familiarised myself with the building and learned more about the business. By day two I was ready to start my online training, which I found efficient and easy to navigate. My co-workers were so helpful
“The hands-on experience I gained while sitting with my co-workers was extremely beneficial”
My time observing colleagues helped me to understand which tasks I am responsible for, and how to complete them. It also helped me to watch how my co-workers organise their day, their tasks, and their folders. I was granted access to a few studies in my second week, which allowed me to assist my co-workers with some of their tasks. This helped me to gain the experience I need to eventually take over the Project Assistant role in a few studies. I am working on studies that I will eventually take over, and the ability to do a few things on my own is helping me to understand the processes and my duties.
“I didn’t know exactly what my role would be like as a Project Assistant, as the Clinical Research field is new to me”

“I am consistently meeting new people, all of whom are helpful and supportive”
It’s very exciting to work on a team that is a part of saving lives and bettering quality of life. It’s clear that everybody here is dedicated to their work, and I am excited to see what comes next.
