Clinical Research Coordinator - Float

Overview

It may sound cliché, but it is true. A career taking care of cancer patients is a calling for most of us. It’s much more than a job. Each of us has a unique story that brought us to Compass Oncology, but those stories usually share common themes of care, compassion, and commitment. No matter the role each Compass team member serves in, the goal is the same: to provide the best care possible for each and every one of our patients.

We have an exciting opportunity for a full‑time Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC). Clinical research is a major service offered through Compass Oncology and the US Oncology Network. The CRC’s are responsible for enlisting, maintaining, and assuring protocol compliance for all patients on clinical trials. They collaborate with physicians, other clinical staff, and members of the research department to manage all non‑clinical aspects of the clinical trial and liaise with the sponsors and monitors of the study.
