Academic Associates Home Page Part of the Emergency Dept.
Academic associates assist with patient identification and enrollment into the clinical trials.
It is then each academic associate's responsibility to ensure that all the appropriate paperwork and blood samples are obtained and processed within the required frame for each of the studies. This program stresses professional responsibility, independent thinking, research design, and data collection methods. All academic associates are required to attend lectures and work clinical shifts in the emergency department at University Hospital. Register under EXT 488 section 01 for a max of 2 credits per semester. You don't need to register if you want to do this as a volunteer.
