Research Assistant
CurrentIn this position I speak with patients about the current genetic research being done throughout Geisinger, explain the requirements for participation, how this research may impact them, answer any questions they may have about the research, and provide information on this study in order to allow the patients to make an informed decision. If a patient chooses to participate, I then provide the necessary paperwork for them to enroll, as well as enter the necessary order(s) into their electronic medical chart. My professionalism, in combination with my work ethic, and ability to work across several departments has allowed me to enroll over 3,000 patients into this research program. I do this while adhearing to strict protocols and guildines set forth by the Institutional Review Board (IRB).
