Job description
The Assistant Clinical Research Coordinator will perform independently or with general direction at the fully operational journey level of the series to execute, manage, and coordinate research protocols, as directed by the Clinical Research Team and/or Principal Investigator (PI); may coordinate the data collection and operations of several concurrent clinical research studies under the guidelines of research protocols, UCSF and regulating agency policies.
This Assistant CRC position will work closely with the UCSF Pediatric Critical Care Clinical Research Group (https://pc3rg.ucsf.edu/).
The PC3RG is a team of physicians in the Department of Pediatrics, Division of Critical Care Medicine that practices medicine in the Pediatric Intensive Care Units of UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital at both the San Francisco and Oakland campuses.
We staff over 60 pediatric critical care beds and treat a variety of diseases ranging from pneumonia, sepsis, trauma, and multi-organ failure in patients ranging from newborn to over 21 years old with baseline health ranging from healthy to complex medical conditions like cancer and congenital heart disease.
Our team maintains a portfolio of 10-15 active studies including interventional clinical trials that test new therapies and observational studies that collect clinical data and research biospecimens to generate new scientific knowledge.
At UCSF, we believe that sick children should have access to the most cutting edge medical care and should also have the opportunity to participate in research and contribute to new discoveries.
The role of the Assistant CRC is to help execute these studies, ranging from study start-up (eg: IRB submission, training), screening the hospital for eligible patients, consenting and enrolling patients in the ICUs with physician support, collecting clinical data in the electronic medical record (EMR), collecting biospecimens from patients such as blood and respiratory samples with physician and nursing support, and following-up with patients through and after discharge.
This is a dynamic and exciting job with in-hospital patient contact and exposure to physicians, nurses, and hospital systems.
