What is a part time EDC programmer?

Part-time EDC programmers are professionals who work with Electronic Data Capture (EDC) systems on a part-time basis, typically within clinical research or healthcare settings. Their primary responsibility is to design, develop, and manage databases and applications that collect and manage clinical trial data electronically. Working part-time, they may assist with programming study forms, validating data, troubleshooting issues, and ensuring compliance with industry standards like FDA 21 CFR Part 11. Their flexible schedules allow organizations to access specialized EDC expertise without the need for full-time employment.
