Job Description
Dr. Daniel McIsaac 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. McIsaac’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 McIsaac and Dr. Sylvie Aucoin, the Clinical Research Coordinator will help support various studies including a CIHR-funded trial of a virtually supported program, for older adults with frailty recovering from surgery (The VICTORY Trial). The VICTORY Trial is a multi-center, randomized controlled trial evaluating whether a virtual recovery program after surgery (which includes sending patients home with a tablet, blood pressure cuff, thermometer, and access to a virtual nurse) compared to standard care, can improve patient- and system-level outcomes. The transition home after surgery is a challenging time for older adults, so this trial is an important first step in improving how older adults return home safely after surgery.
The prospective hire will be responsible for the following tasks, as well as support other AIMS projects and team goals:
•Coordinating a multi-center trial of a frailty-tailored post-operative virtual care program for older adults recovering from surgery
•CTO and REB applications, amendments, and renewals
•Development and organization of Essential Files
•Communication with participating centers and organization of study files

•Data collection including participant questionnaires, telephone follow-ups, and collecting data from online databases.
•Data entry
•Quantitative and qualitative data analysis
•Budget management and grant reports
•Report directly to the principal investigator.
•Participate in weekly meetings and conference calls.
•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.
