The Department of Medicine at Staten Island University Hospital offers an unpaid -volunteer opportunity to gain research experience in the general quantitative and qualitative research methods.

Individuals will gain valuable experience in data entry/management, survey data collection, conducting literature reviews, manuscript preparation and general research methods. Research volunteers are encouraged to attend lectures and workshops offered by the department to expand their knowledge and understanding of the field of medicine.

We encourage students to become involved in this great opportunity as much as they can. Many of our current research volunteers and interns go on to apply to graduate school programs. Mentorship may be provided in preparation and completion of master thesis or other academic requirements.

Moreover, this placement provides an excellent opportunity for research career development in a healthcare setting, no matter what one's ultimate goal is. Faculty interests include health screening, gastroenterology, nephrology, cardiology, geriatrics, oncology, physician-patient communication, quality of life, risk perception and communication, and community outreach. Many research projects target urban, medically underserved populations.

Good time management, organizational and communication skills are essential, previous research experience is desirable, but not required. Computer skills are essential and include word processing, Microsoft office  (EXCEL, Power Point), and library search engine tools. The benefits are vast, and reach beyond advancing your career or grad school application. Volunteers will become valuable members of a research team and have the opportunity to gain real-life experience, attend Grand Rounds and even use data for the theses and publications if desired.
