Opportunity Purpose
Our study explores genetic variation in metabolism of pain medication following surgery. We would like to consult patient partners who have experience with surgery and post-operative pain medication. We seek input on patient contact from the point of consent through surgery and post-operative follow-up questionnaire.

What’s Involved
We would like to involve the patient partner in helping to plan to study flow, from initial patient contact, through their surgery, and the follow-up questionnaire. We would ask the partner to attend team Zoom meetings approximately once per month to help plan the study.
