Clinical Research Internship Program

The Clinical Research Internship is a unique opportunity for students to directly participate in the performance of clinical research, such as enrolling patients in study programs, while also observing overall emergency department (ED) operations and interacting with physicians, nurses and other health care personnel. The ED Research Internship offers a broad diversity of research from basic observational studies to complex randomized controlled trials thereby exposing students to the full spectrum of research applications in a single clinical setting. Students will gain research experience working in the ED that will strengthen their skills in developing a career in public health and/or medicine. Students will be exposed to the practical application of research to provide critical context and texture to research theory they may have received in the classroom.

Our Mission and Goal:

The program's mission is to conduct innovative and practice-changing science while supporting and training a diverse group of clinician-scientists dedicated to improving patient care.  Our program goals are to provide a clinical research educational experience for pre-health professionals, hands-on training to gain research-related skills, and exposure to an acute clinical setting.

Clinical Research Internship Program

Overview                       program structure                        application.

The Center of Excellence for Research in Infectious Diseases organizes the only comprehensive Clinical Research Internship to provide participants with immersive learning opportunities in clinical research. This university approved internship offers a combination of in-class, hands-on, and project-based learning in all aspects of the clinical research process.

Forest Arnold, DO Program Director

Program Structure

The program curriculum is designed to achieve multiple learning goals that equip participants with the necessary skills to develop and implement a clinical research program in the United States and internationally.

• In-Class Clinical Research Learning: Members of CERID provide the didactic portion of the program lectures. The curriculum describes the theoretical elements of planning and performing clinical studies, analyzing study results, and dissemination of new knowledge generated through clinical research.
• Hands-On Clinical Research Learning: Interns move beyond clinical research theory into the practice of clinical research. They acquire experiential learning working with members of different CERID research units, including Data Management, Research Implementation, Laboratory, Biorepository, Quality Assurance, Biostatistics, Medical Writing, Medical Informatics, Community Outreach, Research Administration, and Research Finances. First-hand experience with patients participating in clinical studies occurs at any of the ten CERID participating hospitals. These hospitals serve the entire population of the city of Louisville.
• Project-Based Clinical Research Learning: Under the guidance and monitoring of a CERID mentor, interns will perform a series of projects related to research dissemination. These projects may include oral presentations, literature reviews, abstracts, posters, or manuscripts. The mentor will offer advice to the intern regarding their research topic and the type of research dissemination activity. The project work may be performed by a single intern, or by a group of interns according to the project scope and difficulty.

These three learning approaches prepare interns by bridging the gap between clinical research theory and clinical research practice.

This internship is a paid 10-week summer program that gives college students an opportunity to participate in clinical research. This is a great way for you to test your inclination toward careers in medicine, health care, and science. You are placed with a faculty mentor to work on a clinical research project.

What is clinical research?

Clinical research represents a broad array of scientific studies and trials that help doctors and the healthcare team learn more about human disease, behavior, and treatments. It is typically differentiated from discovery science or "basic science research" in that there is not a wet lab or bench component. Varying methodologies and approaches may include, but are not limited to:

• Observational studies
• Epidemiological studies
• Retrospective studies
• Case series or reports
• Clinical trials
• Quality studies

Most CRISP students work with their faculty mentors in a largely computer-based or chart review manner to work on their research project.

A faculty mentor directs each student's Clinical Research Internship Study Program (CRISP) learning experience for the research project. The Mayo Clinic Institutional Review Board (IRB) approves all research projects.

To successfully complete the program, you must:

• Comply with all program and institutional policies
• Participate in an ongoing research investigation
• Develop skills in research methodology
• Participate in assigned educational activities
• Present a written summary and oral presentation of their research at the end of the program

CRISP students work on a variety of research topics. Some examples of previous projects:

• Injury in marathon runners
• Aortic aneurysm and smoking
• Liver transplant in patients older than 70
• Warfarin anticoagulation in acute intracranial hemorrhage
• Screw placement in the spine using 3-D images

You are expected to attend our lecture series aimed at helping to develop your professionalism.

You are expected to commit a minimum of 20 hours a week to be at Mayo Clinic to work on your research project.
