Hi all,

I know the question that I would like to ask has already been asked in another post or forum, but here it goes. I am now studying for my master's degree. It is about the pharmacokinetics study of a cancer drug in patients. I am keen on a career in clinical development in the pharma industry after graduation. In 2026, is it still possible to advance/transition to a clinical scientist position with only a master's degree (of course, not as a fresh graduate)? I might apply to clinical operations first after graduation. Should I continue to pursue a PhD for the sake of prospects as a clinical scientist? Thank you in advance. I really appreciate your opinions. Have a beautiful day!
