If I have work experience in the USA-based clinical research field, do I need to disclose this during the visa interview?

Yes, you must disclose your USA-based clinical research work experience during your visa interview.
The U.S. Department of State requires you to provide complete and accurate employment history on your DS-160 form. Consular officers review this information and may ask about your previous roles to assess your qualifications and the relevance to your planned activities in the U.S. Being truthful and thorough helps ensure a smoother visa process and builds trust with the authorities.
