Overview

Clinical Research Nurse II performs a full range of clinical and non-clinical research duties, and has a working knowledge of the clinical research process and the regulations that govern it. As licensed professionals with clinical research experience, they perform patient related care independently, including medical assessments, symptom management, and referrals, within the scope of their licensure. With the oversight of the PI or their designee, they perform progressively more complex and comprehensive clinical research duties at an ever-increasing level of independence, working closely with the Principal Investigator (PI). They work under supervision, but with more autonomy than an entry level position.
