The relationship between clinical research coordinators and monitors is at the heart of every trial. Too often, it is defined by miscommunication, mistrust, and turf wars, but clinical trials move too quickly and are too important to allow these avoidable barriers to persist. This interactive session, led by monitors who were once coordinators, flips the script. With a unique dual perspective of site and sponsor, the speakers explore how empathy, communication, and perspective-taking can transform this critical relationship from adversarial to collaborative. Attendees will gain heightened self-awareness and actionable strategies for their unique situations. When coordinators and monitors work in sync, clinical trials run smoothly. Let's rethink the status quo and co-create a culture of mutual respect and shared goals--because better relationships mean better research.
