Certified Tumor Registrar (Part-Time Consultant / Domain Advisor)
About The Position
John Snow Labs is seeking a highly experienced Certified Tumor Registrar (CTR) to join their team as a part-time domain expert and process advisor. This long-term collaboration aims to deepen the company's understanding of oncology registry workflows, data abstraction standards, and interoperability processes across population-based and hospital-based cancer data systems. The role is ideal for a senior registrar who enjoys sharing expertise, advising on best practices, and helping non-registry professionals translate complex oncology data workflows into digital, interoperable systems.
Requirements
- Certified Tumor Registrar (CTR) credential in good standing (required).
- 5–10+ years of hands-on experience in cancer registry operations, ideally including both facility-based and central registry settings.
- Deep familiarity with cancer case abstraction, staging, and coding conventions.
- Deep familiarity with data validation and QA workflows.
- Deep familiarity with NAACCR-style data items.
- Deep familiarity with common registry abstraction and validation tools used in the field.
- Deep familiarity with reporting workflows to state or national programs (e.g., population-based or accreditation-related systems).
- Understanding of AJCC, TNM, ICD-O, SSDI, and associated coding frameworks.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to translate complex registry processes for interdisciplinary teams.
Responsibilities
- Serve as a subject matter expert (SME) on cancer registry data standards, abstraction workflows, and reporting requirements.
- Provide structured walkthroughs of the registry lifecycle — from casefinding, abstraction, coding, QA, to submission and feedback.
- Advise on the interpretation of data dictionaries, staging schemas, and coding logic used across U.S. registries.
- Help the team understand the daily workflow of registrars, including interaction with EHRs, pathology feeds, and state/federal reporting systems.
- Review data models, variable mappings, and potential automation use cases for consistency with registry standards.
- Participate in periodic review meetings (remote) to guide technical and product teams on oncology data conventions.
- Provide occasional feedback on UI/UX mockups, training materials, or registry-related data capture prototypes.
Benefits
- Competitive hourly consulting rate, commensurate with expertise
