Mount Sinai Research Opportunity

Sinai Research Associates Program
Spring Applications

Application Deadline: Friday, December 16th, by midnight


About the Program:

The Sinai Associates program is a clinical research assistant program in the Emergency Department of the Mt. Sinai Medical Center. Duties include screening and enrolling patients in current clinical research projects, ranging from controlled trials of medical devices to observational studies, among others. Opportunities for high-level involvement in specific research projects are available to motivated, reliable, interested individuals in addition to baseline commitment. Observation of emergency department procedures, resuscitations, and general care is an integrated part of the experience, and in some cases required for execution of research enrollment. Dr. David Newman directs the Sinai Research Associates program.

Position Commitment:

Sinai Research Associates will work 2 shifts per week (3 hours each), and attend a few evening training sessions during the semester. All new volunteers must attend an orientation session at Mt. Sinai Hospital.

The training sessions will be an opportunity to discuss upcoming studies as well as existing ones. Generally these workshops concentrate on anatomy, physiology, and medicine related to the studies. At some sessions we'll demonstrate study-related medical procedures such as endotracheal intubation or lumbar punctures.
