  Clinical Research Intern

  As an intern, I screened patients’ medical records, collaborated with other research interns, research coordinators, and health care professionals, such as doctors, nurses, and residents. I approached patients and their families to consent and educate them about several research studies. If patients were enrolled in studies, I would collect data for the study by observing the patients.
