Clinical Research Assistant II

Ottawa

October 18, 2024


Dr. Daniel Mc Isaac is an anesthesiologist and scientist at The Ottawa Hospital and a CIHR-funded investigator. As team lead for the Aging Innovation in Perioperative Medicine & Surgery (AIMS) Research Group, Dr. Mc Isaac’s research program at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute looks to improve the care and outcomes of older people who require major surgery with a special focus on frailty, health system performance, and patient reported outcomes. AIMS is an interdisciplinary team of motivated researchers, clinicians, research staff, patient partners and trainees who work in a collaborative and team-based environment.
Under the supervision of Dr. Daniel Mc Isaac, the Clinical Research Assistant II (CRAII) will help support various studies including CIHR-funded trials of virtually supported, home-based prehabilitation programs (exercise, nutrition, counselling) for adults preparing for surgery. The main role of the CRAII is that of a “prehab coach”. However, the role also includes involvement in additional trials, such as an observational study involving adults going for surgery.
The prospective hire will be responsible for the following tasks, as well as support other AIMS projects and team goals:
  • Screen patient for eligibility into clinical trials.

  • Data collection and entry via questionnaires and chart review.
  • Phone patients weekly to encourage them through their exercise/nutrition program and to offer modifications.
  • Be present several times a week during the “live” video-based group sessions to monitor safety.
  • Prioritize and manage time effectively to coordinate competing tasks, activities, and the oversight of study staff to meet tight or changing deadlines.
  • The successful candidate will be expected to work both onsite and remotely from home, as required. For example, oversee study activities in-hospital at both campuses.
