About The Position

Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers, Colorado's largest and most comprehensive provider of cancer care has an exciting opportunity for a Trial Eligibility Specialist supporting the Research Department at our Midtown location in Denver, Colorado. We realize that it sounds cliché but it is true - taking care of cancer patients is a calling. It's much more than a job.

No matter the role each RMCC team member serves in, the goal is the same: to provide the best care possible for each and every one of our patients. Whether we are a nurse holding our patient's hand, or a scheduler on the phone finding an appointment that fits into a patient's schedule, we are deeply connected to our patients and do what we can to help. If this sounds like you, we'd love to have you join our team.
