Sample interview questions
How do you ensure that a Trial Master File remains inspection-ready throughout a study?

I use the study file index and expected document lists to perform routine completeness reviews, confirm documents are filed contemporaneously, and follow up promptly on missing or incomplete records. I document findings, escalate risks when needed, and maintain a clear audit trail for all actions.

What does ALCOA mean in the context of TMF oversight?

ALCOA refers to records being attributable, legible, contemporaneous, original, and accurate. In TMF oversight, I apply these principles by checking that documents have appropriate authorship, dates, version control, readability, source integrity, and accurate metadata.

How would you manage an incomplete document identified during a periodic TMF review?

I would verify the expected document and applicable milestone, identify the responsible study-team contact, and communicate the gap with a clear request and due date. I would track the issue to resolution and escalate according to the TMF management plan if the item could affect inspection readiness.

Describe your approach to prioritizing TMF help-desk tickets and competing study requests.

I assess requests by study risk, inspection or milestone impact, urgency, and the potential effect on document accessibility. I acknowledge requests promptly, resolve straightforward issues efficiently, communicate expected timelines, and escalate complex access or quality concerns to the appropriate lead.

How would you train a new stakeholder on study-specific TMF requirements?

I would tailor training to the stakeholder's responsibilities and explain the file structure, expected documents, filing timelines, naming conventions, and quality expectations. I would use practical examples, provide written work instructions, and confirm understanding through questions or a short walkthrough.
