"Clinical Research Coordinator"

The purpose of the Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) position is to help coordinate pre-clinical testing of medical monitors that non-invasively read the level of oxygen in blood or tissues, under the supervision of the PIs and guidance from the Senior Clinical Research Coordinator. An example of these monitors are pulse oximeters which are devices that are used in just about every aspect of patient care. The UCSF Hypoxia Lab tests pulse oximeters for accuracy so they can receive FDA approval. Accuracy testing of pulse oximeters involves desaturating subjects to certain hypoxia plateaus, at each of the plateaus blood samples are drawn from an arterial line. By comparing this blood sample's blood oxygens saturation level to the readings on the test oximeter we can determine how accurate it is. While working in the Hypoxia Lab the CRC will recruit subjects for adult pulse oximetry testing, collect blood samples during the trials once phlebotomy is completed by a physician, and keep the lab regularly stocked with samples.

Under general supervision and direction, the position would perform at the fully operational journey level of the series on duties related to the support and coordination of the clinical study. Candidates may receive training intended to prepare them for conduct of the study. Responsibilities include:

• Assist with subject recruitment (putting up posters, advertising, designing new recruitment strategies that promote enrollment targets etc)
• Coordinate scheduling of studies with sponsors, including design of new scheduling strategies to optimize lab efficiency
• Transcribe data collected from clinical machines to electronic record
• Data entry to computerized source
• Record physiologic measurements (vital signs, ECG) as they are taken by the supervisor;
• Obtain consent for study
• Handling and analyzing blood samples
• Support lab operations efficiency and compliance, including regulatory compliance
