She then joined the Colorado Multiple IRB (COMIRB) as a coordinator in 2011.

After a successful career at COMIRB, Hiromi joined SCL Health in 2018, and is currently implementing standardization of the IRB across three regions and building a new research community as part of the leadership team. Hiromi has also served as an AAHRPP site visitor since 2017. This year, she served on the poster session abstract subcommittee in preparation for the PRIM&R annual conference.
