MO-SSM Health St. Clare Hospital - FentonWorker Type:
Job Highlights:
SSM is dedicated to early breast cancer detection. In order to best facilitate patient care, a novel hybrid clinical and administrative role has been developed to launch a robust breast cancer risk program for the St. Louis region. This program will be under the direction of the recently developed Regional Medical Director for Breast Imaging.
The ideal candidate has a nursing background in breast health (such as nurse navigation) and has a deep fund of knowledge for breast cancer risk assessment tools, pros and cons of screening modalities for breast cancer detection, high risk genetic syndromes and the implications for high risk pathology results.
In this role, the program coordinator can expect to spend a substantial portion of time devoted to clinical education and outreach with referring/community health care providers. These encounters will help to bridge communication gaps and establish trust and rapport to promote program referrals. Additionally, significant time will be spent devoted to clinical education and community outreach, with particular attention to historically underserved patients in the region. Novel approaches to developing community partnerships will be explored.
In partnership with the regional medical director and other clinical and administrative stakeholders, the program coordinator will develop educational materials involving the high risk program (brochures, presentations, website-based media pieces). As needed, the program coordinator will also provide education and training to the breast center nurse navigators to ensure they are aware of best practices and clinical information regarding breast cancer risk assessment.
The program coordinator will be engaged in interdisciplinary committee meetings involving all matters of breast health. The ideal candidate will possesses the requisite skill set for patient facing care, system operations, and problem solving abilities to navigate inherent challenges that may arise in launching a program.
The PC will have support and mentorship from the regional medical director, and clinical stakeholders.
