What are the responsibilities and job description for the Clinical Specialist position at Lucid Diagnostics?
The Clinical Specialist role primarily covers the central region of the United States, and is 100% field based, requiring 65% travel.

At Lucid Diagnostics, we believe early detection will make esophageal cancer a disease of the past. We're using next generation sequencing to fundamentally change the way esophageal precancer is detected. Our groundbreaking EsoGuard DNA test assesses genes from cells collected from the esophagus in a quick, non-invasive procedure. This gives clinicians the ability to detect disease before it progresses to cancer, all without the need for sedation. We're focused on making a difference in patient care and we are seeking ambitious team members who do the same.
When you join Lucid Diagnostics, you become part of a diverse, inclusive, and mission-driven team. We’re committed to creating an environment where you can thrive both professionally and personally.
