Junior Clinical Research Coordinator
Jul 2025 - now
- With a senior colleague reviewing the change, coordinated protocol visit windows and checked consent version records against IRB-approved documents under investigator oversight, escalating missing documentation before visits; kept administrative readiness separate from the investigator’s eligibility and clinical decisions.
- Within an assigned workstream, reconciled EDC entries with authorized source records for a study visit cycle, logging discrepancies and routing data queries to the delegated study owner; retained a traceable correction history instead of silently overwriting source discrepancies.
- Within the assigned scope, reconciled visit windows and source records with the protocol, tracked informed-consent versions, and answered an EDC query using dated source evidence without altering the original record.
- Within the assigned scope, owned protocol-document reconciliation using consent versions and visit logs, resolved missing signatures and completed regulatory review before the monitored visit.
- Within the assigned scope, built a billing review using protocol-approved visit schedules, reduced unresolved research-charge queries by 24% and published an access-controlled reconciliation log.

Clinical Research Coordinator Project Contributor
Mar 2024 - Jun 2025
- With supervisor review, maintained the study document tracker for protocol amendments, delegation records, and upcoming IRB deadlines; gave the investigator a reviewed list of submissions needing action before deadlines.
- Within the assigned scope, checked that the reviewed record preserved the original observation, date and responsible professional, clarified an incomplete entry with its author, and retained the correction trail for the next review.
- Within the assigned scope, reconciled information received at handover with the current care record, clarified a discrepancy with the responsible clinician, and documented the agreed follow-up without overwriting the original clinical observation.
Selected project
De-identified visit-status reporting
Project team member
Sep 2024 - Feb 2025
- With supervisor review, prepared de-identified visit-status reports and documented handoffs between scheduling and study teams. made delayed follow-ups visible without including participant identifiers in shared planning notes.
- Used Protocol coordination and Visit scheduling to compare the source record with the proposed result; documented exceptions, the reviewer, and the acceptance decision before handoff.
- Prepared a fictional case record with an event timeline, incomplete documentation and an escalation question; checked source consistency without using identifiable patient or participant records.
- Created a review checklist separating administrative completeness from clinical decisions, tested a missing-date and conflicting-entry scenario, and documented which questions required a qualified professional’s review.
- Owned the synthetic case-document review using approved training guidance, resolved a missing signoff and completed a version-controlled supervisor-review packet without real patient data.
