About the Role
Clinical research only works when patients are supported, protocols are followed, and data is collected with care. In this role, you’ll be at the center of that effort—helping patients safely participate in clinical research while ensuring each study is conducted with integrity and compassion.
As a Clinical Research Coordinator, you’ll coordinate and manage the day‑to‑day care of patients enrolled in research studies. Working closely with physicians, nurses, and research teams, you’ll help bring promising new cancer treatments from idea to reality.
This role is a great fit for someone who enjoys working directly with patients, values organization and accuracy, and wants to be part of meaningful, mission‑driven research.
What You’ll Do
You’ll support clinical research studies from a patient‑focused, operational perspective.
Your responsibilities will include:
Coordinating and managing patient care for clinical research studies
Educating patients and families about study participation and compliance
Serving as a trusted point of contact for patients throughout the study
Working closely with physicians, nurses, and research staff to support study goals
Collecting complete, accurate clinical research data
Ensuring studies follow approved protocols and regulatory requirements
Supporting patient enrollment and retention in research studies
Escalating concerns and questions with guidance from preceptors, educators, or leadership
What You’ll Bring
You’ll succeed in this role if you are compassionate, detail‑oriented, and comfortable balancing patient care with research responsibilities.
