RESPONSIBILITIES

• Understand thoroughly all assigned studies through reading protocols, attending investigator meetings and start-up meetings, and coordinating with Principal Investigator.
• Adhere strictly to the study protocols, including all protocol requirements for patient visits, obtaining informed consent, patient visit schedules, test procedures, laboratory information, and other requirements.
• Educate patients and their family members regarding the clinical trials process and the details of the specific study in which they’re participating.
• Assess eligibility of potential patients and oversee patient enrollment to ensure that informed consent is properly obtained and documented.
• Coordinate and conduct patient visits (drawing blood, collecting vital signs, performing ECGs, and processing specimens) and assure all procedures are conducted in compliance with the clinical trial protocol and Good Clinical Practice (GCP).
• Communicate clinical trial issues to Sponsor and/or Contract Research Organization (CRO), Principal Investigator, and Clinic Manager.
• Keep all source documentation up-to-date and in compliance with ALCOA-C standards.

• Track enrollment status of patients and ensure timely communication with patients regarding their study participation.
• Prepare for and/or participate in quality assurance audits conducted by study sponsors, federal agencies, or other review groups.
• Maintain a “One Team” approach to trial success. To maintain healthy patient flow and ensure the success of all trials, team members may be temporarily reassigned to patient engagement or clinic responsibilities, as appropriate. This flexibility is essential to meeting our contractual obligations and ensuring a seamless experience for all trial participants.
