How do I get an entry level clinical project coordinator job?
Entry level clinical project coordinator roles typically look for candidates with a background in life sciences, public health, or a related field, along with any hands-on exposure from internships, clinical research assistant roles, or academic research projects. Demonstrating familiarity with Good Clinical Practice guidelines, basic regulatory documentation, and study coordination tasks gives candidates a clear edge at this stage, even without years of professional experience.
Which companies hire entry level clinical project coordinators?

At this level, hiring comes from a mix of contract research organizations, academic medical centers, pharmaceutical companies, and specialty clinical research sites that build teams with junior talent.
Are there remote entry level clinical project coordinator jobs?
Yes, though most entry level roles include some on-site or hybrid component. About 0% of entry level clinical project coordinator openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how some administrative and coordination tasks can be handled off-site while hands-on trial work typically requires in-person presence.

A new grad friendly posting typically accepts zero to two years of experience, counts internships or volunteer clinical research work toward that threshold, and considers a strong academic background or relevant portfolio in place of a long work history.
