ABOUT
We seek to admit highly motivated and competent students who have an interest in volunteering in the hospital, want to learn more about emergency medicine, and demonstrate a desire to assist with clinical research. Emergency Medicine Research Associates recruits during the Fall and Spring quarters of each academic year. Our next recruitment will take place in Spring 2025. The application process consists of an online application, followed by primary and secondary interviews. At the beginning of each recruitment cycle, we hold two information sessions to provide general program details and application deadlines. While not mandatory, we highly encourage prospective members to attend.
