Aim: To describe the efficacy of clinical research coordinators (CRCs) in terms of research output among faculty, residents and medical students. Materials & methods: We analyzed and reviewed departmental research output from the 3 years prior to the hire of 3 CRCs compared with the 3 years following. Results: From 2014 to 2016, the department output was a total of 27 peer-reviewed publications, 16 oral presentations and 33 poster presentations. From 2017-2019 there was a 52% increase in publications (n = 41), 131% increase in oral presentations (n = 37) and a 61% increase in poster presentations (n = 53). Conclusion: The implementation of CRCs has markedly increased tangible research output and trainee involvement. This role may serve as a valuable model for other academic departments.
