Job Description-Senior Breast Imaging
Officer/ for R01-MURIKA Project
Job Title:
Senior Breast Imaging Officer
Departments:
Clinical and Research
Consulting With Elective Surgery
Specialists
Grade:

Location:
Butaro, with frequent travels to other
selected intervention sites
Duration of Contract:
September 2026 – April 2030 renewable

Reports to:
-Director of Research and Training
Organization Profile
1
In 2005, PIH and its Rwandan sister
organization, Inshuti Mu Buzima (IMB), began working in
partnership with the government of Rwanda to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic
afflicting the population and to comprehensively strengthen the public health system
in rural, underserved districts in Rwanda. Today, PIH/IMB supports delivery of
comprehensive integrated non-communicable disease (NCD) services in three rural
districts of Rwanda, including cancer care. Cancer care is predominantly based
at the flagship Butaro Cancer Center of Excellence (BCCOE), which was
inaugurated in June 2012 and has since provided care to over 9,000 patients,
with services ranging from cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
Locating Specialized Treatment Centers
As breast cancer incidence rises in
Rwanda, innovative and sustainable strategies to facilitate timely,
accurate diagnoses are urgently needed to eliminate these preventable
deaths. High-quality breast imaging is essential for the evaluation of
potential cancer. Specifically, diagnostic breast ultrasound is the global
standard of care in evaluating breast masses and more accurate than
physical exam alone in identifying benign versus malignant disease. By triaging
lesions requiring biopsy, ultrasound may also reduce unnecessary referrals and
allocate resources to those most likely to have cancer. However, radiologists
are still scarce and breast ultrasound is typically offered only at urban
referral hospitals. Decentralizing breast ultrasound to district hospitals
would expand access to this critical evidence-based intervention, particularly
for low-income rural patients facing heightened barriers to referral hospital care.
It is with this regards that Rwandan
policymakers have called for breast ultrasound decentralization at all district
hospitals. Based on this, PIH/IMB in collaboration with Brigham and Women’s
Hospital(BWH) are implementing a project entitled “MURIKA (Mobilizing
Ultrasound for Breast Imaging and Care)” aiming to use a fully powered hybrid
implementation-effectiveness trial design, to examine whether real-time virtual
supervision using teleultrasound technology is more effective than asynchronous
virtual feedback in facilitating breast ultrasound provision and maintaining
clinicians’ skills at 16 Rwandan selected district hospitals. During the
tele-ultrasound supervision, the trained clinicians/medical imaging
technologists will receive real time supervision and feedback from the
incumbent Senior Breast Imaging Officer on a video call using REACTS (a
radiology software). For asynchronous virtual supervision, the
clinicians-trainees will save the ultrasound images and will be shared with the
incumbent who will provide them feedback within 24 hours. The project will
focus on comparing the effectiveness of these two strategies in terms of
building the trainees’ skills and supporting the incorporation of the breast
ultrasound provision into clinical care at the 16 district hospitals.

Overall Responsibilities:
Under the guidance of PIH/IMB Research and
Training and Oncology Programs Leadership, as well as BWH
partners, the Senior Breast Imaging Officer will be mainly
responsible for leading clinical interventions, trainings, mentorship and supervision
in diagnostic breast ultrasound within the 16 selected intervention
hospitals and PIH/IMB supported sites, following the established radiology
requirements and regulations to ensure patient care, safety and clinicians’
skills enhancement. The position will also be involved in different
related research activities, expert meetings, workshops, and curriculum
reviews.
Specific Responsibilities and Duties:
- Developing diagnostic breast ultrasound training curricula;
- Leading breast ultrasound trainings, combining in-person and
web-based didactic lectures and supervision;
- Supporting the assessments of the effectiveness of the training
and supervision strategies;
- Serving as a virtual mentor-supervisor for the selected study
or intervention sites/hospitals (via tele-ultrasound for some hospitals
and asynchronous supervision for other sites);
- Participating in regular (weekly, monthly, quarterly) meetings
and workshops with different stakeholders;
- Supporting study results interpretation, dissemination and
translation of findings into policy and practice;
- Providing clinical expertise on diagnostic breast ultrasound
while supporting other breast medical imaging project-related activities
as needed and requested by the PIH/IMB supervisors.
