Execute nonpromotional scientific exchange and communicate clinical and scientific data through presentations, educational programs, and scientific discussions.

Collaborate with investigative sites to develop and implement patient identification, recruitment, and retention strategies to support enrollment goals, including taking responsibility for building out referral networks.

Monitor site engagement and enrollment activity, proactively identifying and helping resolve operational barriers impacting study execution or patient recruitment, and facilitating communication for timely issue escalation.

Gather, analyze, and communicate actionable medical insights, as well as field-based insights related to recruitment challenges, site engagement trends, and operational needs to support cross-functional internal teams.

Serve as a therapeutic and scientific resource for healthcare professionals by addressing unsolicited medical questions and facilitating meaningful scientific dialogue.

Maintain deep scientific and clinical expertise through continuous learning, scientific literature review, and awareness of emerging data and treatment trends.

Support congress activities, advisory boards, and other medical education initiatives as appropriate.
