Clinical Research | Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Continue Practicing Medicine in a Role That Values Your Clinical Expertise

Are you an experienced Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant looking for a role where you can focus on practicing medicine - not insurance authorizations, productivity quotas, or running a busy clinic?

Headlands Research is seeking a seasoned Advanced Practice Provider to serve as a full-time Sub-Investigator at our established clinical research site in beautiful Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This is an exceptional opportunity for an experienced provider who enjoys building meaningful relationships with patients, values clinical autonomy, and wants to continue using their assessment, diagnostic, and medical decision-making skills every day.

Clinical research offers the opportunity to practice medicine in a different way. Rather than seeing a high volume of patients, you'll spend meaningful time with research participants, perform comprehensive clinical evaluations, interpret diagnostic results, and help advance innovative therapies that have the potential to improve lives around the world.

Why Join Headlands Research?

Practice at the Top of Your License

As the sole full-time medical provider at our Myrtle Beach site, you'll serve as the primary medical resource for a dedicated team of approximately 15-20 clinical research professionals.

Working alongside experienced Clinical Research Coordinators, Research Assistants, Laboratory staff, the Site Director, Principal Investigators, and study sponsors, you'll play an integral role in ensuring participant safety and the successful execution of clinical trials.

While the Principal Investigator maintains overall responsibility for each clinical trial, you'll work collaboratively with the PI to deliver exceptional participant care. Your medical expertise will help guide the clinical team, support medical decision-making, answer protocol-related clinical questions, and ensure the highest standards of quality throughout every study.

This is a highly collaborative environment where you'll never practice in isolation.
