The goal of this course is to introduce students to the basic concepts of Clinical and Translational Research and to provide hands on experience in clinical research. Course is conducted in conjunction with the Department of Biomedical Engineering. This course provides undergraduates, medical students, nurses, pharmacists, and EMS workers the opportunity to be involved in hospital-based clinical research under the supervision of an assigned attending physician, research nurses, or nurse managers. Course participants will function as clinical research partners and may assist with selection of patients for studies, conducting clinical research and performing data collection projects. This will be done through scheduled clinical shifts in the Department of Emergency Medicine. The expected benefits of the course will be exposure to clinical research, exposure to clinical emergency medicine, increased knowledge of medical terminology, development of communication skills in the healthcare environment, interaction with faculty and staff in the Department of Emergency Medicine, and the potential for the development of individual research.
