Clinical Research Coordinator Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a clinical research coordinator in Florida?
Most clinical research coordinator roles in Florida require a bachelor's degree in a life science, nursing, or health-related field, followed by hands-on trial experience. Florida does not issue a state-specific license for this role, so employers rely heavily on national credentials: the Certified Clinical Research Coordinator credential from ACRP or the CCRP from SOCRA. Many Florida academic medical centers and cancer centers treat certification as a hiring requirement rather than a preference.
How much do clinical research coordinators make in Florida?
Clinical research coordinators in Florida earn a median of about $112,220 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $62,660 for the lowest 10% to over $216,330 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire clinical research coordinators in Florida?
Employers hiring clinical research coordinators in Florida right now include University of Miami, Moffitt Cancer Center, and Baptist Health South Florida, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Florida's density of NCI-designated cancer centers, large hospital networks, and contract research organizations operating out of Miami and Tampa means consistent year-round hiring across both academic and industry-sponsored trial programs.
Which Florida cities have the most clinical research coordinator jobs?
Miami, Tampa, and Jacksonville have the most clinical research coordinator openings in Florida. Miami's concentration of academic medical centers and a large patient population driving Phase II and III enrollment accounts for much of the demand, while Tampa's Moffitt Cancer Center anchors oncology trial hiring, and Orlando's rapidly expanding AdventHealth and UCF Health systems feed steady coordinator openings across therapeutic areas.
Are there remote clinical research coordinator jobs in Florida?
Yes, but they're limited, because the core of the role involves on-site patient visits, specimen collection, and direct protocol oversight that cannot be performed remotely. About 45% of clinical research coordinator openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those positions tend to concentrate in regulatory coordination, data entry, and sponsor communication functions rather than patient-facing trial work.
How can I get hired as a clinical research coordinator in Florida with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a clinical research associate or research assistant role at a Florida academic medical center or CRO, which typically requires only a relevant bachelor's degree and a willingness to train under an experienced coordinator. Moffitt Cancer Center, University of Florida Health, and AdventHealth all post entry-level research support and data coordinator roles that serve as direct pipelines into coordinator positions. Completing the ACRP Fundamentals of Clinical Research certificate and gaining IRB familiarity through a hospital volunteer or administrative role gives candidates a measurable edge over applicants with no research exposure.
Where can I find and apply to clinical research coordinator jobs in Florida?
