About Alliance Clinical Network

Role Summary

We’re seeking an Internal Medicine physician (MD/DO) to serve as a Principal Investigator (PI) at our New Port Richey research site. This position is ideal for a physician seeking a slower pace of work and very flexible, part-time hours (approximately 10 hours/week). Comprehensive PI onboarding and ongoing support are provided. You’ll provide medical oversight for clinical trials, ensure participant safety, and help generate high-quality data—without the heavy demands of a traditional clinic schedule.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the study physician for assigned trials; ensure participant safety and ethical conduct.
• Review and confirm participant eligibility; oversee screening outcomes, AEs/SAEs, and retention trends.
• Perform/oversee study-specific medical assessments (histories/physicals, concomitant meds, endpoint review).
• 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 state requirements.
• 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.

 Why This Role Fits a Slower Pace

• Predictable scheduling anchored to study visit calendars (no overnight call; rare urgent escalations).
• Focused patient interactions with pre-screened volunteers and comprehensive study protocols.
• Dedicated research team handles day-to-day coordination; you provide clinical oversight and judgment.
• Flexible hours—work blocks can often be scheduled around your availability.

Training & Support

• Structured PI onboarding (GCP/ICH training, protocol-specific training, mentorship from experienced PIs).
• Ongoing support from seasoned clinical operations, regulatory, and QA teams.
• Clear SOPs, templates, and documentation workflows to simplify your transition into research.

Qualifications — Required

• MD or DO (Internal Medicine).
• Active, unrestricted Florida medical license.
• Interest in clinical research and comfort reviewing structured clinical data.
• Strong documentation, communication, and confidentiality practices (HIPAA/PHI).
