Ferva Abidi
Ferva is Senior Clinical Research Coordinator in the Division of Rheumatology. She ventured into a career in clinical research in 2013 with absolutely no clinical research experience. At that time, she was known for her positivity and caring attitude for patients and coworkers. Since then, Ferva has blossomed to a Senior Coordinator. She now manages and coordinates complex clinical trials from start to finish. She manages her own trials, holds lots of responsibilities within shared trials, and even help newer team members with theirs. Ferva goes above and beyond to accommodate study patients’ needs and has been recognized in patient testimonials. She tirelessly works around the clock to ensure that patients, sponsors, and her team are well-taken care of. She has been cited to be a top recruiter for studies as well and has been invited to investigator meetings to share her tips and tricks to recruit. As a coworker, Ferva is always willing to help anyone in need and mentor new members of the team, especially during times of lots of coordinator turn-over in the department.
