Health care is constantly changing, and at Banner Health, we are at the front of that change. We are leading health care to make the experience the best it can be. We want to change the lives of those in our care ??? and the people who choose to take on this challenge. If changing health care for the better sounds like something you want to be part of, we want to hear from you.

The management team is very supportive and wants to see the growth of their team. This applicant will spend most of the day talking to patients about the research study and enrolling those that are interested into the research study. Each morning, the Clinical Research Assistant (CRA) will review a Cerner list of patients in the hospital to identify those that are appropriate (not too sick) to approach. The CRA will talk to the patient???s nurse to confirm that the patient is stable to talk with. The CRA then enters each patient room to talk to them about All of Us (they give an elevator pitch). If the patient says yes, then the CRA completes the enrollment process. Enrollment is helping a patient create an account and consent on an iPad, complete physical measurements, draw blood (we will teach the applicant phlebotomy), and process the specimen. Usually an CRA ??has to approach about 10 patients to get one person to say yes. Other responsibilities include data quality control, outreach events, and retention of enrolled participants.

There is some flexibility if needed; an 8 hour shift between 7:30am to 6:30pm can be accommodated. Training will need to occur between 8:30am to 4:30pm.
