NYU School of Medical Cardiovascular Clinical Research Center

Over the past several decades, clinical research activities in the Division of Cardiology have contributed substantially to the cardiovascular literature and have greatly influenced the practice of clinical cardiology. In 2003 the Cardiovascular Clinical Research Center (CCRC) was established under the direction of Dr. Judith Hochman. Considered one of the world’s leading cardiovascular clinical trialists, Dr. Hochman’s studies in the areas of cardiogenic shock and coronary artery disease have transformed the guidelines for treating patients with heart disease.  

The CCRC serves as the clinical coordinating center for international and national multicenter trials and as the organizing entity for numerous local trials as well. The CCRC has substantially increased patient enrollment in a wide range of clinical trials and has helped administer the division's expanding portfolio of clinical trials.

The CCRC is currently looking for volunteers both in pre-health studies and medical graduates requiring research experience. Volunteers will assist Clinical Research Coordinators and Research Assistants in patient enrollment and trial set-up.
