Role of the Clinical Research Coordinator in Orthopaedic Research: Making Research Less Onerous

Conducting clinical research can be challenging. The challenges are derived from not only the logistical difficulties of proper scientific conduct but also the many regulatory bodies that are in place to safeguard against harm in subjects involved in clinical research. With the advent of the role of the Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC) these challenges have improved. However, many don't understand the exact role of the CRC. Grimm NL, Tainter DM.
