What does the day look like?
Roughly 35% of your working day involves direct patient contact: reviewing clinic schedules against protocol criteria, guiding participants through 20 to 45 page informed consent forms and witnessing signatures, measuring vital signs, performing ECGs, and coordinating clinic visits. The remaining 65% is strict regulatory compliance, documentation, sample processing, and data entry. You will transcribe source records into EDC systems like Medidata Rave, Oracle InForm, or Veeva Vault EDC, resolve CRA queries within 5 to 7 days, track investigational drugs via IRT/IWRS platforms like Suvoda or Almac, and draft Serious Adverse Event (SAE) reports within a mandatory 24-hour window.
You also centrifuge blood tubes within 30 to 60 minutes of collection, pipette serum into cryovials, log storage temperatures in minus 20 degrees Celsius or minus 80 degrees Celsius freezers, and pack specimens on dry ice under IATA regulations. Standard hours run 37.5 to 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday (08:00 to 16:30 or 09:00 to 17:00). Night shifts are extremely rare, but serial pharmacokinetic blood draws over 12 or 24 hours require starts at 06:30, and acute trials (such as stroke or cardiology) involve weekend on-call duty to enroll patients within 3 to 6 hours of symptom onset.
