Becoming a clinical study coordinator can be a rewarding career path for a number of reasons. Here are a few potential reasons why you may want to consider this profession:

  • Contributing to the advancement of medical research: As a clinical study coordinator, you would be involved in the planning, coordination, and execution of clinical trials and other medical research studies. This can be an opportunity to contribute to the development of new treatments and therapies that could improve the lives of patients.
  • Working in a dynamic and challenging field: Clinical research is a constantly evolving field, and as a study coordinator, you would be at the forefront of this work. You would be responsible for ensuring that studies are conducted in compliance with regulatory requirements and ethical standards, and you would need to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in the field.
  • Building a diverse skillset: As a study coordinator, you would gain a variety of skills that could be valuable in other areas of healthcare or research. These could include project management, data analysis, communication, and problem-solving.
  • Making a difference for patients: Ultimately, the work of a clinical study coordinator is about improving patient care. By helping to facilitate studies that could lead to new treatments or better understanding of disease, you could have a significant impact on the lives of patients and their families.
  • Strong compensation: The salary of a clinical study coordinator can vary depending on a number of factors, including location, years of experience, and the specific industry or organization in which they work. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the median annual wage for clinical research coordinators in the United States was $51,510 as of May 2020.

The responsibilities of a clinical study coordinator can vary depending on the specific study or trial they are working on, as well as the organization or institution they are employed by. However, some typical responsibilities of a clinical study coordinator may include:

  • Planning and coordinating the study: Clinical study coordinators are responsible for helping to design and plan the study, including determining the research question, identifying study participants, and deciding on study protocols and procedures.
  • Obtaining informed consent: Study coordinators must ensure that study participants understand the risks and benefits of participation and that they have given their informed consent to be part of the study.
  • Managing study documents: Study coordinators maintain all necessary documentation for the study, including regulatory submissions, study protocols, and participant consent forms.
