Aren't clinical research positions for doctors ??

Well, check out www.hsa.gov.sg and the unis ..

When it comes to academic / research / clinical jobs, I would say - skip the agents unless you wanna get skinned .. says my 2 cents ..

When it comes to academic / research / clinical jobs...

IIRC clinician/physician scientists are usually doctors, but focusing on scientific research... these guys are usually armed with MD-PhDs (or its equivalent) and work with clinical researchers...

as for clinical research... i think these researchers aren't doctors but usually have at least a PhD...

then there's the academic clinicians (doctors if they're working a in medical school) who are usually armed with a master's degree and do mostly teaching.

be warned that while government-linked research agencies in singapore may look good on the resume, it's extremely tiresome and political to be working for them.

i think the thread starter might land a job in singapore, but it probably won't lead him anywhere up the ladder...!

I also used to think that you need to be a MD/PHD to do clinical research ..

The OP says ..

"...from India completed my master degree in microbiology in 2007, EMT in 2009, PG Diploma in clinical research in 2011,now working as a clinical research coordinator since 2009"

Aint no doctor .. so I am also confused about Clinical Research .. !!!

Then again, with the recent tie ups with US medical research facilities, he may stand a good chance of stepping into the centers, in Biopolis et al ..

Clinical research is about testing drugs/devices/procedures on humans. You don't need to be MD or PhD to be a clinical researcher. You need to be MD to perform certain procedures but they are only a small part of the whole testing methodology.
Researcher and scientist are very often used exchangeably and the difference is rather hard to capture (scientist suppose to have more emphasis on knowledge while researcher on systematic search/investigation)

Which was what I thought, and know, from some a couple of friends, who were researching in NUH/John Hopkins http://www.nhg.com.sg/nhg_04_jh.asp and now they are with HSA ..

One was researching on Clinical effects of neuro toxins or something ..

So, back to HSA then

if i'm not wrong, the term "clinician scientist" (like "academic clinician) is a term reserved for medical doctors only.

clinician/physician scientists have the ability to apply research to actual (clinical) medical practice; the latter being what clinician researchers lack.

MD - yes, the suffix -CIAN suggests this but I would expect it is reserved not only for PhDs. The later IMO is cliniCAL researcher (or clinical research scientist to make it even more confusing).
