ORGANIZATIONAL STATUS

The incumbent will report directly to Professor Wendy V. Norman, the lead Investigator on the CART HFITF Project and co-lead of CART, in the Department of Family Practice. The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will support the research project within the CART team. There will be a research focus on the following HFITF project with grant funding from the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR): How far is too far (HFITF)? Creating an evidence base to support safe provision of medication abortion for people living far from emergency services." The Investigator is Dr. Wendy Norman (Professor, Department of Family Practice, UBC) and the co-Principal Investigators are Dr. Bonnie Henry (MD, MPH, Clinical Professor, UBC); Dr. Sarah Munro (PhD, Assistant Professor, University of Washington); and Dr. Laura Schummers (ScD, Assistant Professor, UBC).

Abortion access in Canada is inequitably distributed with wide urban-rural disparities. Introduction of the medication abortion pill (2017) promised to address this disparity, offering safe, effective service closer to home. But current guidelines limit this service to patients living near emergency services, which may not be necessary. In this study, the research addresses a critical gap in abortion evidence worldwide: How far from emergency services can first trimester medication abortion be safely provided?

This project aims to determine incidence, urgency, and risk factors for post-MA hemorrhage requiring blood transfusion, including the proportion of transfusions that are emergent or life-saving. The study employs mixed methods including chart data, health administrative data and interviews among those living in or caring for people who live in rural areas. This successful PDF will lead on the case control study of chart data, triangulation of data from all sources, and the knowledge translation activities. The case control study will engage facilities across Canada and the PDF will coordinate the analysis to include similar data collected in Scotland, Australia and Sweden.

WORK PERFORMED

The primary activities of the Postdoc Research Fellow will be to:
Establish connections and coordinate retrieval of case control chart data from facilities across Canada.

Coordinate chart data collection and analysis across all countries (Canada, Scotland, Sweden, and Australia).

Collaborate through excellent communication skills with colleagues and mentors about all aspects of the projects (design, interpretation, challenges, solutions, timelines and progress)

Publish results in peer-reviewed scientific journals in a timely fashion, and coordinate appropriate knowledge translation activities.

Participating in other research and/or teaching activities that the PI and PDF identify together and contributing to broader research endeavors at CART

Be curious and engaged with the project and the work at CART, willing to learn and grow.

Other duties as required.

SUPERVISION RECEIVED

The Postdoc Research Fellow will receive day-to-day supervision and support from Professor Wendy V. Norman, Co-Director of CART. In addition, advice and support on data collection and analysis will be provided by co
- Principal Investigators Dr. Bonnie Henry, Dr. Sarah Munro and Dr. Laura Schummers.
