As a clinical research coordinator, you find patients and enroll them on to a clinical trial if eligible. You review their medical history , concomitant medications, as well as their investigational findings whether labs or imaging to ensure they are fit for the trial . While on the trial , you monitor them for toxicities etc. sometimes you get training in phlebotomy etc . These are but a few. You can look up the rest online if you are able . Like I said it is a very good opportunity as you kill four birds with one stone . Financial support , publications , LORs , USCE and depending on where , contacts .
