    Description
    Research Assistant I Emergency Medicine Description

    This is an excellent full-time opportunity for recent college graduates or foreign-trained physicians with an interest in medicine and/or clinical research. Working with us as an emergency department (ED) clinical research coordinator is a great way to experience medicine and clinical research. You will be embedded in our clinical work and interact closely with patients, nurses, physician assistants, doctors-in-training, faculty, and other staff. You will learn about the scientific, ethical, and organizational underpinnings of clinical research and medicine in general.

    Our projects include but are not limited to clinical trials in addiction, infectious disease, neurology, cardiovascular critical care, novel point-of-care test devices, behavioral health emergencies, advanced care planning, and state-of-the-art digital health innovations such as digital pills, emergency ultrasound, and other novel medical technology. We also conduct studies exploring social determinants of health, health policy, community-oriented healthcare, and public surveillance projects.

    This position will allow you to experience research and medicine from multiple perspectives:

  • Tertiary-level ED-based research (Brigham and Women's Hospital)
  • Community ED-based research (Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital)
  • Inpatient-based research
  • Outpatient-based research
  • Public health-oriented research
  • You will also have direct access to the department's Research Director, research faculty members, and other staff who will mentor you in your career development. You will emerge from this experience with a terrific understanding of clinical research and medicine.

    In summary, this is a position for someone who has an interest in healthcare research and wants to plan a career in research or someone who wants to equip themselves with exposure to a fast-paced clinical environment before applying to medical, PA, nursing, or graduate schools or is preparing for medical residency.

  • Circulate throughout the Level 1 Trauma Center and community-based emergency departments, looking for patients who might be eligible to participate in particular studies.
  • Understand and implement the principles of Good Clinical Practice.
  • Observe and practice excellent interpersonal skills that are required to develop professional relationships with the clinical staff so that they are receptive to research that occurs when they are very busy with routine clinical care.
  • Explain research studies to potentially eligible research participants and their family members. Obtain their formal informed consent to participate.
  • Obtain research measurements, such as blood tests, spirometry (a breathing test), swabs, and survey information. Adequate training will be provided to ensure that the incumbent succeeds in their role.
  • Maintain meticulous records for all research-related activities.
  • Respond to emails and messages (including group messages) within an hour, always using polite, professional communication. Personal mobile devices must be encrypted per Mass General Brigham's policy.
  • Liaise with study sponsors and hospital committees in a professional way.
  • Review medical charts to collect data.
  • Enter data into databases.
  • Prepare and manage regulatory applications to federal and local agencies (FDA, NIH, IRB, and the related approval process.
  • Monitor research studies throughout their duration and train other research coordinators on protocol specifics.
  • Seek guidance immediately whenever unsure about something.
  • Be available to work rotating shifts: morning or evening; and a weekend shift every 4-5 weeks.
  • Work with a focus on understanding the research machinery to grow towards a role in project management, if applicable.
  • All other duties, as assigned.
