• Demonstrated patient-facing or customer service experience, ideally in healthcare, call center, sales, CNA, MA, or similar high-contact roles.
• Comfort with medical terminology and the ability to discuss basic clinical concepts with patients in a clear and understandable way.
• Experience working in a fast-paced, metrics-driven environment with call volume and recruitment targets.
• Attention to detail in documenting patient information, tracking interactions, and updating CTMS, recruitment systems, and EMR (ClinPro).
• Ability to warm call patients from registries and effectively communicate the value and purpose of clinical research participation.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build rapport and trust with diverse patient populations.
• Organizational and time-management skills to handle high call volumes, follow-ups, and scheduling responsibilities throughout the day.
• Interest in and willingness to learn about clinical research, study protocols, and patient recruitment strategies.
