• Strong clinical execution skills, meticulous attention to detail (particularly regarding specimen labeling), and the ability to work independently at a referral site with periodic remote oversight.
• Excellent, empathetic communication skills with high comfort discussing study participation with patients navigating sensitive health situations.
• Reliable availability to align with clinic patient scheduling, including occasional early-morning or flexible hours.
