20 AUG 2026 · In this episode, new Clinical Research Coordinators learn how to handle the intense first-day pressure of turning raw notes into regulatory-ready source documents while conducting compliant informed consent discussions. Blake breaks down immediate, desk-level actions that prevent early setbacks, including keeping a contemporaneous paper log during patient visits, transferring entries to the electronic system the same day, and sticking strictly to approved consent language without improvisation. Listeners discover how to manage family questions, document discussions accurately for audits, and perform quick end-of-visit checks to catch errors before monitors arrive. These practical steps build confidence fast without needing extra training sessions.
Key takeaways:
- Maintain a dedicated paper log with time, initials, and brief notes right after each interaction
- Transfer data to electronic records before leaving to ensure contemporaneous timestamps
- Read consent sections aloud verbatim and pause for questions without adding explanations
- Note all present parties, questions asked, and discussion length in the source log

11 JUL 2026 · In this episode, we break down the real first steps new coordinators need on day one and beyond—no fluff, just practical site ops. Learn how to ground your work in good clinical practice, master informed consent conversations, and keep source documents accurate from the start. These habits protect participants, satisfy monitors, and build confidence fast in a role where the first forty-eight hours set the tone.
Key takeaways include:
- Review core GCP principles the night before to follow protocols, report deviations same-day, and secure investigational products immediately.
- Practice consent delivery by reading forms aloud, pausing for questions, and documenting exact times for signatures and discussions.
- Record source data in real time—vitals, labs, adverse events—with precise dates, times, and details to avoid later gaps.
A quick end-of-day cross-check keeps everything aligned and defensible. 📩 Have questions or want to share your experience? Reach out at clinical@senseofthisshit.com.
