The Precision Child Health (PCH) movement at Sick Kids is a transformative approach to healthcare that supports the tailoring of medical care to the unique characteristics of each child. This includes considering genetic, physiological, medical, and social determinants of health data, as well as patient and family preferences, to build a comprehensive understanding of the whole child. The goal is to change the way diseases are predicted, prevented, diagnosed, and treated, ultimately achieving unprecedented health outcomes.

A key enabler to the success of the PCH movement is advancing a learning health ecosystem where patients and families can inform, participate in, and benefit from discovery, translation, and clinical research as part of their care.

Reporting to the Executive Director of Precision Child Health and collaborating closely with leaders throughout the Hospital for Sick Children (Sick Kids) and the Sick Kids Research Institute (RI), the Program Manager will play a critical role in developing and implementing the Sick Kids Research Connect Program. This Program aims to address the challenge of connecting patients and families with research opportunities in a more streamlined, accessible, and equitable way.

This position requires a dynamic individual with practical knowledge of learning health systems, clinical research methodologies, and inclusive practices for research participant engagement. The Program Manager will be responsible for contributing to the design and execution of a program dedicated to ensuring that every patient and family at Sick Kids has equitable opportunities to participate in, and benefit from, relevant research opportunities.

By leveraging expertise in both operational and collaborative domains, the Program Manager will help build and implement sustainable operational programming that supports patient-centered research participation across the institution.
