A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A CLINICAL RESEARCH COORDINATOR

As a Clinical Research Coordinator, you get to work directly with both clients and study participants. Your ability to build good relationships ensures that our clients continue to use us for studies and that our participants continue to do studies with us. You coordinate the trial from phone screening through to the study completion, making sure that all required randomization procedures are adhered to. With great attention to detail, you create documents for study use, verifying that all the information matches the study activity. You also perform quality checks on source documents and review approved regulatory documents from the IRB/IEC.

You also attend in-house protocol meetings.

Ensuring medical coverage and efficiency for all involved, you schedule study procedures in a way that maintains study integrity. You give subjects clear instructions at check-in, ensure that they qualify prior to each dose, and remain present to monitor them post-dose. Your ability to communicate effectively is essential, as you are the primary contact for both subjects and sponsors throughout the clinical trial. You are very conscientious about keeping all documentation up-to-date and accurate. After the close-out visit has been conducted, you prepare study documents for archiving. You also get to act as a mentor, training new coordinators, assistant clinical research coordinators, and research associates. You get great satisfaction out of helping to accelerate the development of drugs worldwide by enabling breakthroughs in pharmaceutical innovation!
