Research Coordinator/EM Clinical Decision Technology Laboratory

Brigham and Women's Hospital
Email

This application is open for May/Early June start date. Other candidates will not be considered.

Mass General Brigham relies on a wide range of professionals, including doctors, nurses, business people, tech experts, researchers, and systems analysts to advance our mission. As a not-for-profit, we support patient care, research, teaching, and community service, striving to provide exceptional care. We believe that high-performing teams drive groundbreaking medical discoveries and invite all applicants to join us and experience what it means to be part of Mass General Brigham.

The Clinical Decision Technology Laboratory (CDTL), based in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, is seeking a motivated individual to join the laboratory as a Clinical Research Coordinator (CRC). Reporting to the PI and Senior Clinical Research Program Manager, the CRC will support the APPRAISE 2.0 research trial.

In this research study, we are evaluating the APPRAISE software system, which is designed to help clinicians keep track of the state of seriously injured trauma patients and the appropriate steps in managing their injuries. The APPRAISE software runs in real-time at the bedside of actual Emergency Department patients. This software was developed by the CDTL. Throughout this research project, the APPRAISE software system will be continually modified and improved.

The CRC will help carry out the day-to-day activities of the investigational protocol. This will include directly interacting with patients and families of major physical traumas in obtaining informed consent, extracting data from chart review, visualizing and analyzing data, and supporting regulatory compliance of the trial. The CRC will also directly interact with APPRAISE 2.0 stakeholders, including trauma surgeons, emergency medicine physicians, and nurses.

The CDTL is a tight-knit community of kind and thoughtful researchers who specialize in analyzing temporal data, developing clinical software, and performing clinical trials. One central question underlies our work: How can new technology enable emergency care that is safer, more effective, and more efficient?

This position provides excellent experience for someone interested in applying to medical school or graduate school. Familiarity with medical terminology from other experience such as medical scribe, medical assistant, or EMT is helpful. Working knowledge in coding and/or programming is valuable.
