Medical monitor

In Roles & organizations

A medical monitor is a physician who provides medical oversight of a trial for the sponsor. They advise sites on eligibility questions, review safety data as it comes in, and make medical judgments the operational team cannot. They are distinct from a CRA, whose monitoring is procedural rather than clinical.
