The Division of Sports Medicine invites third- and fourth-year medical students or medical school graduates to apply for a one- or two-year clinical research position in orthopedic sports medicine.
This is an excellent opportunity for a highly motivated individual to strengthen an application for the orthopedic surgery residency match. Because you are expected to work on numerous projects with several investigators, it is paramount that you possess excellent organizational and communication skills.
Your responsibilities and daily activities include learning how to develop a research hypothesis and conduct a review of the literature, prepare a research protocol, and understand the steps involved in submitting applications to an institutional review board. Opportunities exist for patient interactions and honing clinical examination skills; exposure to hospital, clinical, and research settings; observing surgeries in the operating room; observing and practicing surgical techniques in the Surgical Skills Lab at NYU Langone Orthopedic Hospital. You will be responsible for collecting, organizing, and analyzing clinical research data; and preparing the results for submission for academic publication and presentation to peers.
In addition, you have the chance to audit courses related to clinical research duties and data analysis skills at NYU Grossman School of Medicine.
Interested individuals should contact the current research coordinator at hjdsports @gmail.com with a copy of resume, CV, STEP (1 & 2, if possible) scores, and clinical rotation grades (if possible). Interview invitations will be extended in the coming weeks!
