Physician/Medical Director: Principal Investigator at Clinical Research Site

Noble Clinical Research, one of Tucson's oldest dedicated clinical trials sites, is looking for a Medical Doctor who can become a Principal Investigator on FDA-supervised industry-sponsored clinical trials.

This job requires an MD or DO, a valid Arizona medical license, and board certification or eligibility in a generalist specialty, such as family medicine, internal medicine, or geriatrics.

Prior clinical research experience is greatly appreciated, but we can rapidly bring a dedicated candidate without prior clinical research experience up to speed.

Many doctors find that working in clinical research is much easier than working at a traditional clinic, for the following reasons:

• Patient throughput is much lower. Even on a busy day, you usually will not see more than 15 patients.
• You do not have the stress of having to diagnose or treat any health condition. You only have to follow the research protocol.
• Patients are not afraid of a diagnosis. They have already been diagnosed with any health condition they may have; they are now optimistic about getting free potential access to next-generation, investigational therapies

However, in the spirit of balance, we will note the following differences from a traditional care setting that some doctors find too different:

• There is a lot more paperwork in clinical research than in traditional medicine.
• Our office uses paper charts/paper source rather than Electronic Medical Records (still permitted on clinical trials).
• There is somewhat less patient interaction on a clinical research study than in a traditional clinic, but it is less rushed, and you are welcome to offer patients advice and testing outside of the clinical trial.

We can offer a range of hours, depending on your personal preferences and schedule.

We acquire new clinical trials on a monthly basis, but currently we have trials in the following indications:

• Moderate-to-severe COPD
• Moderate-to-severe asthma
• Moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis
• Vitiligo
• Eczema
• Major Depressive Disorder
• Sleep apnea
• Shift-work sleep disorder

Responsibilities

• Oversee and manage clinical trials, ensuring compliance with FDA regulations and ethical standards.
• Maintain accurate medical records and ensure adherence to HIPAA regulations.
• Adhere to the specific protocol for each research study--you will be thoroughly trained on each one.

Qualifications

• Valid Arizona medical license
• MD or DO degree
• Board certification (or eligibility) in: family medicine, internal medicine, or geriatrics
• Prior experience in clinical research as a sub-investigator or principal investigator is appreciated but not required.
