About this session

Session chaired by Joe Lengfellner
Clinical research coordinators are the backbone of trial execution, yet their perspectives are often overlooked. This panel brings together a frontline coordinator, a product leader designing tools for them, and an executive overseeing research teams, to share unfiltered insights into the challenges and opportunities of the coordinator experience. Expect candid stories, lessons learned, and ideas for building a better future for the role that keeps trials running.
