Position Summary

This Louisiana Tumor Registry (LTR) position is required for registry routine operations and supported by federal funding from the NCI - SEER Program and the CDC - NPCR Program. This pre- CTR position is for a candidate with RHIA who has training in health information management, medical terminology, and health information coding, which are prerequisite to be trained to become a CTR.

Given the complexity of abstracting and coding cancer cases and the requirement for accuracy of cancer data, this person will not be given work that only CTRs can do before finishing all the mandatory training. The person will perform some basic registry work, after less intensive training, such as screening pathology reports to identify reporting cases and processing and cleaning data.

This person will be given some real cases to abstract under supervision as part of the training.
