About Carebox
Carebox connects patients and physicians exploring treatment options with clinical trials, using transformational clinical trial matching technology. Our human-supervised AI continuously transforms unstructured patient eligibility criteria into a fully indexed and normalized database ready for instantaneous matching of patients’ clinical and genomic profiles with these eligibility criteria.
Our Carebox Connect™ web sites have already been visited by over a million patients and physicians. Trial sponsors, research centers, and patient advocacy groups use Carebox Connect™ to add patient-centric matching functionality to their presentation of clinical trial portfolios, in support of ongoing clinical research communications and outreach campaigns, to improve disclosure of their research, and to engage patients and doctors to accelerate the matching and referral of pre-screened patients to trial sites.
The Role of a Medical Information Associate
As a Medical Information Associate you will become part of a small, yet powerful team of professionals who are focused on the daily curation of an expansive database of clinical trials and associated metadata. This data serves as the foundation for all of Carebox’s applications, which include real-time clinical navigation by nurses and dedicated call centers – and digital solutions for research hospitals, advocacy groups, and pharmaceutical / biotech partners.
As an Associate you can expect to:
Work off a daily task queue to prioritize data curation tasks
Review and follow standardized operating procedures for specific data curation tasks
Review and interpret clinical trial summaries from clinicaltrials.gov
Index eligibility criteria
Research. Learn basics of disease content.
Research more nuanced and detailed content such as the mechanism of action of drugs and the specific molecular targets defined by the action.
Initiate and progress through more advanced curation for more complex trials
Assist with site data management
Assist with data quality improvement projects
Participate and present in weekly meetings of Medical Information Department
