About The Position

The Nurse Program Coordinator for Fertility Preservation supports the OSUCCC–James Supportive Care and BRIDGE (Building Research, Innovation and Care Delivery for Groups with Young Adult and Early Onset Cancers) initiatives, which focus on improving care delivery for patients with early‑onset cancers in young adulthood (<50yrs old). This role ensures timely and seamless access to fertility counseling and preservation services for patients of reproductive age, recognizing the impact that cancer and cancer treatments can have on future family‑building and quality of life.

The Nurse Program Coordinator serves as the primary liaison between patients, oncology teams, oncofertility providers, and external Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (REI) clinics. The role provides direct patient education and information, oversees standardized referral pathways, scheduling, patient record transfer and all logistical support necessary for seamless navigation to timely fertility care for patients undergoing cancer treatment at The James. Key responsibilities include supporting the oncofertility nurse practitioner, maintaining data and outcomes tracking, and coordinating with social work and financial counseling to assist patients with insurance and financial resources. The position also identifies additional supportive care needs and coordinates appointments to services such as survivorship, AYA programming, and psychosocial oncology. This role does not diagnose, prescribe, make medical recommendations, or bill for visits. Additional duties include direct patient care as appropriate, program planning, and participation in community outreach and educational initiatives. The Nurse Program Coordinator collaborates with internal departments and survivorship/fertility teams to develop patient education materials and staff training related to oncofertility and reproductive health.
