•    Provide medical oversight to site staff (Sub-Investigators, CRCs, RNs, lab staff); be available for consults and safety questions.
•    Collaborate with IRBs, sponsors, and CROs; join SIVs, monitoring visits, and close-out activities as needed.
•    Ensure compliance with protocols, site SOPs, ICH-GCP, FDA/21 CFR, and Arizona or Texas state requirements (as applicable).
•    Review clinical data (labs, ECGs, vitals) and support timely safety reporting and documentation.
•    Contribute to high-quality source documentation, query resolution, and continuous improvement of site processes.

Minimum Qualifications:
•    MD or DO (Family or Internal Medicine).
•    Active, unrestricted Arizona Medical Board license, as applicable.

•    Board certification in Family or Internal Medicine.
•    DEA registration – Schedule I or II license, or are willing to obtain this license.
