Emergency Medicine Summer Research
Workshop – 2009

---

This workshop is intended to develop future clinical investigators by providing research experience, instruction, and mentoring to medical students early in their education. Students will obtain hands-on experience with faculty-initiated research and learn to develop their own ideas into coherent, even fundable, research proposals. The workshop is designed to be a part-time summer commitment.

Didactic lectures on the following topics will be presented: Drafting the Research Question, Searching the Literature, Study Design 1 and 2, Introduction to Statistics, and Anatomy of a Grant Proposal. Early in the workshop, students may also attend the Department of Emergency Medicine's Resident Research Day. Held at Davidge Hall, this annual conference features resident research presentations and a lecture by a nationally recognized guest professor.

Prior to the workshop, students are expected to complete new investigator training modules offered through the University of Maryland Human Research Protections Office. The assigned modules (HIPAA and the biomedical modules in CITI) are available at: http://medschool.umaryland.edu/hrpo/education.asp.

The workshop will begin after May 25 and will end before July 17. There will be a mandatory 3-hour orientation session soon after May 25 (date to be determined). During the course of the workshop, students are expected to spend at least eight 4-hour shifts in the Emergency Medicine Department, enrolling patients in faculty-initiated research. The available shifts are: 11am-3pm, 3pm-7pm, and 7pm-11pm. The selection of these shifts is flexible. Students may elect to do two in some weeks and none in others, and are encouraged to select a variety of day, evening, and weekend shifts. Didactic lectures will be given in person and will also be available on-line. Follow the link for a sample student schedule.

Interested students should email their resume and a completed application form to Dr. Michael Witting (mwitt001@umaryland.edu) by March 31.

This program is not stipend-based.
