Research Coordinator

The Geneva Foundation, Bethesda, Maryland, us, 20811


About The Project:

The Musculoskeletal Injury Rehabilitation Research for Operational Readiness (MIRROR) Program delivers high value research, education, training, and infrastructure for over 40 clinically relevant musculoskeletal injury (MSI) studies within the military health system (MHS). MIRROR supports a broad scope of projects, including epidemiological investigation, investigator initiated pilots, and prospective randomized multisite clinical trials. Areas of clinical evaluation comprise general MSI care process models and highly prevalent anatomically-specific (e.g. back, knee, shoulder pain, etc.) targeted interventions with protocols examining effective return-to-duty activities. This role will support the "Innovation and Outcome Optimization in Arthroscopic and Minimally Invasive Surgery" (MAST 3.0+ MOTION) protocol in the MIRROR Program. This project aims to track patients enrolled into the Military Orthopedics Tracking Injuries and Outcomes Network (MOTION) system. MOTION is an official DHA program of record that captures patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) as part of the patient's standard of care. To evaluate the effects of the arthroscopic skills training courses, we will be requesting data of the patients treated by the participating orthopedic surgeons. These patients will then be stratified into two groups: (1) those treated by surgeons who participated in an arthroscopic skills training course, and (2) those treated by surgeons who did NOT participate in an arthroscopic skills training course.
