About the position

The position of Clinical Research Coordinator at Guthrie involves the coordination of multiple in-patient and out-patient clinical research protocols. This role requires extensive knowledge of disease pathophysiology, pharmacology treatments, and patient disease evaluation workflows. The coordinator must effectively collaborate and communicate new processes related to research with various departments involved in the clinical trials. The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring that all team members meet sponsor-specific training requirements prior to the initiation of projects, as well as training team members on their delegated duties. This position also supports regulatory specialists with sponsor communications and maintains study supply inventory while assisting monitors during their visits. In addition to project coordination, the Clinical Research Coordinator will develop or advance the investigator's plans in collaboration with the manager and executive director. This includes advancing research meetings within the Guthrie Medical Group departments to communicate performance metrics regarding enrollments, training requirements, and new protocol opportunities. The coordinator will also assist with feasibility studies, site selection, IRB document review, and correspondence with investigators, IRB, and sponsors. The role requires meticulous documentation that meets Good Clinical Practice standards, ensuring that all patient interactions and study requirements are accurately recorded. The position also involves administering and dispensing investigational medications as ordered by licensed physicians, assessing patient compliance with the protocol, and following up with participants regarding their next visits and study requirements. Travel is required for protocol and regulatory training, and the coordinator will also attend training seminars and conferences as mandated by the research study sponsors. Presenting study information to groups of physicians and patients, assisting in protocol development, and advising the department manager on resource utilization and training needs are also key responsibilities of this role.
