The Research Associate Internship Application is accessible HERE. The
Summer 2019 Application deadline is Thursday, January 24, 2019.
Please forward the following information about the Research
Associate Internship program at NYU to any students that may be interested in
gaining experience in clinical research. Thank you for your time, we look
forward to working with you!
About the program:
The Research Associate (RA) Internship is an innovative
volunteer program for enthusiastic and inspired college and post-baccalaureate
students. Created by the Ronald O. Perelman Department of Emergency Medicine,
the internship grants students an opportunity to experience and observe
multiple aspects of clinical research. The program consists of clinical and
non-clinical research shifts based in the Emergency Department. The program
offers the committed student a unique experience to furnish a wealth of knowledge
about the numerous options for a career in healthcare. This summer intensive
unpaid research internship will expose participants to a diverse spectrum of
clinical research investigations occurring in the Emergency Departments of
Bellevue Hospital Center, NYU Langone Medical Center, and NYU Brooklyn.
RA interns will develop basic research skills and become an
integral part of research projects and grants occurring through the Ronald O.
Perelman Department of Emergency Medicine. They will be taught how to collect
and enter data, and maintain databases. RA interns will participate in
laboratory meetings and gain Principal Investigator mentorship and/or shadowing
experiences. RA interns will also become oriented to the Institutional Review
Board and other Human Subjects courses. This experience permits RA interns to
be exposed to new and innovative research, and develop a comprehensive
understanding of clinical research.
Commitment:
The RA Internship is a very demanding program and requires a
great deal of commitment on the part of the student. Fall-Spring RA interns can
expect to work at least two, four-hour clinical shifts and one, two-hour
non-clinical shift per week for a total of 10 hours per week during the length
of the school year. Summer RA Interns are required to commit to at least four,
four-hour clinical shifts and one, two-hour non-clinical shift per week for a
minimum of 18 hours per week during the summer.
RA interns are also expected to attend study meetings when new
research studies are starting in the ED.
Shifts take place each day of the week, including weekends, in
four-hour time blocks. The first shift is 8am-12pm, and the last is 8pm-12am.
Application Instructions:
We invite applications from mature, committed, and motivated
students who fully accept the demands of the RA Internship and have a
willingness to participate enthusiastically in all aspects of the program. We
encourage applications not only from students with a strong interest in
healthcare (aspiring doctors, nurses, nurse-practitioners, physician
assistants, clinical psychologists/psychiatrists, and clinical social workers),
but also from students who are uncertain about pursuing a career in healthcare.
Students who have completed at least one year of undergraduate studies are
eligible to apply. Though research experience is preferred, it is not
necessary.
