Position Summary

We are an innovative research entity looking for highly organized, detail-oriented and enthusiastic candidates to support the patient-oriented research portfolio of the Center. The VHO Clinical Research Coordinator will be responsible for conducting the recruitment, enrollment, follow-up and compensation activities related to a research study focused on utilization of a medication nonadherence screening tool in the breast cancer patients and clinics. We anticipate developing new studies and research directions, so ideal candidates will be able to adapt to a fast-paced environment with evolving responsibilities, workloads and work schedules.

Under the direction of the Director of Research Implementation and the study Principal Investigator, the VHO Clinical Research Coordinator will be responsible for coordinating the daily activities of a new research study to assess the implementation (feasibility, acceptability, uptake) of a medication nonadherence screening tool in the breast cancer clinic. The study protocol involves semi-structured interviews with patients and clinicians to better understand how the questionnaire itself is understood by patients and how the adherence data should be presented to / used by clinicians. The study results will inform the design of a future hybrid I effectiveness-implementation trial studying the implementation of medication nonadherence screening in broader clinical contexts. Collaborating with a variety of institutional and Center-wide teams, as well as performing independently, the VHO will be responsible for all participant recruitment, scheduling, follow-up, compensation and data collection and entry activities. Further, the VHO will provide assistance in participant enrollment activities, administration of study questionnaires and inventory of study supplies.

At CBCH our goal is to work together as a collective (faculty, admin, and staff) to advance shared values and goals.

Candidates should anticipate the need for flexible work hours to assist in attainment of recruitment goals and completion of study visits and focus groups successfully. Candidates may expect work hours to be scheduled between 7:00 am and 7:30 pm and occasionally on weekends, varying from week-to-week depending upon study visit and recruitment needs.
