The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Loyola University is seeking up to three qualified students for a paid clinical research fellowship. The general caterogries of research tracks are Joints/Trauma, Shoulder/Elbow, and Sports Medicine. Students will have an opportunity to work with other faculty as well if desired. Targeted Start date is July 2024 for a duration of one year. We will consider undergraduate students, medical students between third and fourth year and graduated or unmatched medical students.
Each of the research assistants will work closely with approximately 2 or 3 attendings in each of the departments. Expectations will include management of the monthly research meetings, coordination of paper submission, IRB communication, and recruitment of patients. In addition, the research assistants work closely with the department research coordinator and the department statistician. There will be plenty of opportunity to manage submissions to local, regional , and national meetings along with manuscript participation and publication.
Students can also get exposure to the operating room and clinic setting as desired.
Loyola University Medical Center is located just a few miles west of Chicago's downtown. This provides ample opportunity to live in and explore the city, or alternately have a little more space in the suburbs.
Applicants should submit an application to our current research assistant Krishin Shivdasani, and should include:
- A cover letter or personal statement
- CV (include test scores if available ie MCAT, Step 1, Step 2, etc)
