The Emergency Medicine Research Training Program at Mount Sinai School of Medicine is a year round research training program for undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, medical, and graduate students. Research experiences include, but are not limited to literature reviews, protocol development, instrument design, data collection (patient interviews, surveys, chart reviews) database design, and maintenance, data cleaning and entry, data analyses, participation in the writing of abstracts, scientific reports and grants. Our program is designed to provide students with a rich, hands-on, research and educational experience in Emergency Medicine.
During the academic year, post-baccalaureate students looking for clinical exposure, Mount Sinai medical students completing research electives, and graduate students fulfilling their field placements, participate in the Research Training Program.
During the summer months of June through August, we conduct an eight week program. Students of the summer program participate in an intensive orientation, weekly research meetings, didactic sessions, and data collection in the Emergency Department. They are given the opportunity to be closely involved in various aspects of clinical research. Students are paired with physician or nurse investigators and work closely with them on one or more research study(ies).
