The Research Associates (RA) Program brings college students into the emergency department as part of clinical research studies at St. Vincent’s Medical Center in Bridgeport, CT. Positions are available for the summer session, 2008.
Due to the demand, they have instituted a “first-come, first-serve” policy. Acceptances into the program will depend primarily on the date we receive a completed application and program tuition. Those applications received after the available positions are filled will be placed on a wait-list should there be cancellations.
In room 108 Norton, on top of the gray file cabinet, you will find a handout detailing numerous summer opportunities in medical institutions in the Cleveland Ohio area. Many of these opportunities are research oriented and do offer shadowing in various medical settings. Please feel free to pick up a copy.
