What you’ll do

To support our expansion efforts, we are looking to add to our team a person that is experienced in clinical abstraction and large project operations.

• Stay on top of all due dates, and keep active communication to ensure that projects are kept on time or that timelines are revised to appropriately reflect necessary time to completion.
• Collaborate with the project-specific study team to review specific data elements post case submission to ensure accuracy and completeness.

Qualifications/Skills:
