Company:
Company is a healthcare services management company formed for the purpose of researching, developing, licensing, and commercializing innovative technology to improve the treatment of alcoholism and drug addiction. Our proprietary, patented and patent-pending treatment protocols are intended for use in treating addiction by stabilizing neurological function. The first step of treatment typically requires detoxification from the addictive substance prior to the initiation of psychological therapy. Traditional detoxification therapies generally consist of 5-14 days of combined inpatient treatment and washout period, use sedatives which expose the patient to the risk of dependence to those drugs, frequently require a tapering and washout period, and do not reduce or eliminate craving. While treating the psychological component of addiction is important, Company recognizes that physiological factors of addiction need to be addressed first to provide patients the best chance for recovery. Unlike current practices for withdrawing addicted patients from alcohol, cocaine, or other addictive stimulants, treatment using the Company protocols is intended to eliminate the use of sedating medications, reduce inpatient treatment time, require no tapering or washout period, and have substantially higher completion rates. Company protocols are specifically designed to reduce or eliminate cravings, a major factor in relapse. We believe this physiological approach to addiction prior to psychological therapy offers patients an improved chance for a complete and persistent recovery. Company provides the treatment community with the most comprehensive approach to the treatment of addictions. Through a combination of medication and nutrients, Company Treatment Protocols specify the use of revolutionary new methods to target the neurotransmitters and receptors most influenced by alcoholism and other drug addictions. When prescribed and supervised by a medical professional, the Company Treatment Protocol is intended for neurostabilization and detoxification from alcohol and/or addictive stimulants while simultaneously reducing or eliminating cravings, enhancing cognitive function, and facilitating the withdrawal process, resulting in accelerated recovery. Impulse control may also be improved, the patient may not be as irritable, and may handle social situations more effectively. The Company Treatment Protocols are for use in treating alcohol and stimulant addiction at the source — the brain. The goal of this medically supervised treatment designed to regulate brain function over the course of 2-3 days is a patient who is detoxified and able to concentrate on recovery without the recurrent cravings believed to be the main cause of relapse..........technology, alcoholism, drug addiction, neurological, detoxification, addictive substance, psychological therapy, sedatives, alcohol, cocaine, addictive stimulants, sedating medications, nutrients, neurostabilization, neuron adaptation, opiate, The HANDS Patient Protocol(TM), endogenous brain chemicals, GABA, dopamine, glutamate, serotonin, alcoholism and drug addiction, substance abuse, addiction.

Identifies and disseminates company-wide “best practices” and standards within the Consulting business units. Fosters and maintains engagement activities and programs to support an employer of choice environment in the scientific community. Business unit P&L responsibility. Some candidates may know one specific therapeutic area very well ( cancer, diabetes, etc.) and advise pharma/biotech companies on that area. However, they may be too focused for us since our scientific consulting services cover many areas - generalists are better here.
Also, the above may lack some clinical development experience, but has more experience on the commercialization side. A balance of both is preferable
Strength in operations is fine, and adds to the profile, however the focus is on driving growth of the practice - demonstration in managing a group of scientists/services and pushing through the marketplace is more valuable (we have a VP of operations for this group already)
commitment/interest in modeling and simulation, especially those with CROs. Some may view this role as a step down, sideways or up, depending on the size of their organization and their orientation. Also, their market focus could be very wide, while ours is narrower. While were trying to sell our services to the head of pharmacology at a drug maker, it would be great to have someone the level up (VP of Clinical Development) as a candidate, who would have a unique perspective of the marketplace for services.

Company:
Company is a healthcare services management company formed for the purpose of researching, developing, licensing, and commercializing innovative technology to improve the treatment of alcoholism and drug addiction. Our proprietary, patented and patent-pending treatment protocols are intended for use in treating addiction by stabilizing neurological function. The first step of treatment typically requires detoxification from the addictive substance prior to the initiation of psychological therapy. Traditional detoxification therapies generally consist of 5-14 days of combined inpatient treatment and washout period, use sedatives which expose the patient to the risk of dependence to those drugs, frequently require a tapering and washout period, and do not reduce or eliminate craving. While treating the psychological component of addiction is important, Company recognizes that physiological factors of addiction need to be addressed first to provide patients the best chance for recovery. Unlike current practices for withdrawing addicted patients from alcohol, cocaine, or other addictive stimulants, treatment using the Company protocols is intended to eliminate the use of sedating medications, reduce inpatient treatment time, require no tapering or washout period, and have substantially higher completion rates. Company protocols are specifically designed to reduce or eliminate cravings, a major factor in relapse. We believe this physiological approach to addiction prior to psychological therapy offers patients an improved chance for a complete and persistent recovery. Company provides the treatment community with the most comprehensive approach to the treatment of addictions. Through a combination of medication and nutrients, Company Treatment Protocols specify the use of revolutionary new methods to target the neurotransmitters and receptors most influenced by alcoholism and other drug addictions. When prescribed and supervised by a medical professional, the Company Treatment Protocol is intended for neurostabilization and detoxification from alcohol and/or addictive stimulants while simultaneously reducing or eliminating cravings, enhancing cognitive function, and facilitating the withdrawal process, resulting in accelerated recovery. Impulse control may also be improved, the patient may not be as irritable, and may handle social situations more effectively. The Company Treatment Protocols are for use in treating alcohol and stimulant addiction at the source — the brain. The goal of this medically supervised treatment designed to regulate brain function over the course of 2-3 days is a patient who is detoxified and able to concentrate on recovery without the recurrent cravings believed to be the main cause of relapse..........technology, alcoholism, drug addiction, neurological, detoxification, addictive substance, psychological therapy, sedatives, alcohol, cocaine, addictive stimulants, sedating medications, nutrients, neurostabilization, neuron adaptation, opiate, The HANDS Patient Protocol(TM), endogenous brain chemicals, GABA, dopamine, glutamate, serotonin, alcoholism and drug addiction, substance abuse, addiction.
