GENERAL SUMMARY/ OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
The Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Emergency Medicine's division of research is seeking a highly motivated individual to assist with ongoing and future clinical research studies. Through participation in a variety of federally funded and industry sponsored clinical trials, our division aims to find new and effective treatments for injuries and illnesses such as venous thromboembolism, acute coronary syndrome, trauma, infections, sepsis, and minor ischemic stroke. The person in this role will work with a dynamic team of investigators and research staff to coordinate multiple studies performed in the emergency department at MGH. Initially, the incumbent will be solely focused on a study to test the validity of self-collected vital sign measurement compared to health professional (in-clinic) collected vital signs. Based on these results, a protocol will be designed and evaluated for the virtual care of acute respiratory infections (ARIs) compared to in-clinic evaluation.
The successful candidate will be highly motivated and eager to interact with patients with acute illness and their families in a fast-paced hospital setting. A high level of maturity is essential, as the coordinator is given access to personal and confidential medical information. Strong organizational and interpersonal skills, attention to detail, and the ability to prioritize multiple tasks are essential. Must demonstrate analytical skills, ability to resolve technical problems, ability to interpret acceptability of data results, and have a working knowledge of data management programs.
This is a full-time (40 hours / week) position; evening hours and weekend hours will be required. Studies may require staff to be on-call one weekend and 5 weeknights a month. The ability of the successful candidate to take call is preferred.
This position is ideal for someone interested in pursuing graduate studies or a career in the fields of medicine, public health, or clinical research. It involves extensive patient interaction as a member of a clinical research team.
