  • Perform delegated study procedures such as vitals, EKGs, phlebotomy, pulmonary function testing, and sample processing, and document them accurately in source
  • Review medical and concomitant medication history and help complete case report forms
  • Keep regulatory binders, source documents, and the Delegation of Authority Log organized and audit-ready
  • Partner with the recruitment team to meet enrollment goals
  • Communicate with sponsors, CROs, vendors, and participants and their caregivers
  • Attend PSVs, SIVs, IMVs, COVs, and investigator meetings, with some travel as needed
  • Report any non-compliance or external audits to site management right away

Qualifications

  • Currently licensed as a RN or LPN in the state of NC
  • Current ACLS provider card
  • At least 1 to 2 years of experience performing infusions
  • Ideally, 1 to 2 years of clinical research related experience
  • Working knowledge of IP handling, sterile compounding, infusion administration, medication administration, and source documentation in a research setting
