Research Opportunity for Alums: Within the Northwell Health System



Hello, I am a Visiting Scholar in the Department of Neurosurgery at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research which is part of the Northwell Health System located in Manhasset, NY.  We are looking to expand our program and bring on new and recent college graduates who are interested in clinical research, biostatistics, informatics and/or research administration. Visiting Scholars provide project management support while working closely with experienced clinicians, researchers, and administrative staff. Participation provides a unique opportunity for Visiting Scholars to interact with medical school faculty and staff in a high-acuity healthcare environment while developing mentor-mentee relationships to help them prepare for a career in medicine. 

Please contact Justin Underwood at junderwood@northwell.edu for more information!
