We are seeking a Nurse Practitioner (NP) to join our clinical research site team. In this role, you will support the Principal Investigator's medical oversight of study participants and may also provide backup support to Clinical Research Coordinators (CRCs) as needed to help keep studies running smoothly. Specific scope of responsibility (including any delegated investigator-level duties) will be defined per protocol and per the site's delegation of authority log. This position suits an NP who wants hands-on exposure to both the clinical and operational sides of running clinical trials at a research site.

Market context
South Dakota continues to need advanced practice clinicians in primary care and rural settings, where access gaps can make Family Nurse Practitioner and Physician Assistant roles competitive. Employers typically look for candidates who already hold national certification, an active unrestricted license, DEA authority, and current BLS/ACLS, so complete credentialing is often the main differentiator.
