Job Summary
The Pediatric KIDney Stone (PKIDS) Care Improvement Network, which is a community of patients, caregivers, and clinicians who perform collaborative studies of kidney stones at 23 pediatric healthcare systems in the United States, seeks to generate and apply knowledge that improves the lives of pediatric patients with kidney stones. This PCORI-funded 12-week follow-up prospective cohort study will compare stone clearance and patients' experiences for the three existing surgical treatments to remove stones: ureteroscopy (URS), shockwave lithotripsy (SWL), and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) across PKIDS. The resultant knowledge of these patient-centered outcomes will improve pre- and intra-operative decision-making about the surgical management of stones.
This individual will coordinate and help implement operations related to the main study, oversee regulatory activities, and supervise recruitment efforts across PKIDS sites. He/she would also assist with coordination of ancillary study activities related to both the PKIDS Network and general research program.
