- Utilize clinical trial management systems (CTMS, EDC, IVRS) to monitor site progress, update metrics, and ensure timely data entry.
- Manage study drug/device accountability and follow up on site payment status.

- Maintain excellent documentation through comprehensive visit reports and follow-up letters.
