Description

The Division of Cardiology at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital is very active
in research.  The Chief of the Division, Jonathan Steinberg, MD sponsors a
Pre-Med Volunteer Program to support the research done by the Attending
Cardiologists within the department which boasts highly respected
specialists in the fields of Electrophysiology, Echocardiography,
Interventional Cardiology, Hypertension, Cardiomyopathy, Nuclear Cardiology,
and Prevention.  The preparation of the abstracts and papers is supervised
by Emad Aziz, DO and the administrative aspects of the Research Assistant
Program, including work assignments and rewards are managed by Deborah
Tormey, RN, MPH a Research Coordinator at the St. Luke's site.

 

This is an opportunity to participate in the preparation of an abstract or a
paper for publication and to learn what is involved in this process.  There
is a great deal of data entry involved; however, there are many rewards to
keep the process interesting.  In addition to learning how the abstract
publication process works, you will have the opportunity to see cardiology
procedures, shadow doctors doing procedures, and learn a great deal about
heart disease and the diagnostic tests in use today.  You can expect the
rewards to be in proportion to the amount of time and effort you are able to
give to the work and we are always looking for ways to make this experience
enjoyable and meaningful for you.

 

Volunteers in the past have found that, in addition to experiences provided
by the program, they have benefited by being in the company of other Pre-Med
students with whom they can share information.  For those who make a
significant contribution to a paper there are opportunities to be listed as
a co-author.  Those who participate in a serious manner for a significant
amount of time may also have the opportunity to receive a personal letter
from one of our Attending Physicians as a reference for Medical School.
