Description
The Division of Cardiology at
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
