Project Healthcare
The Project Healthcare (PHC) program is one of the most competitive and attractive programs in the nation offered to a collegiate pre-health population. Our most popular program, PHC is offered in Manhattan (NYC Health+Hospitals/Bellevue) and Brooklyn (NYU Langone Hospital–Brooklyn).
Health Career Opportunity Program
Founded by Howard A. Rusk, MD, and sponsored by the Wallace Foundation, the Health Career Opportunity Program (HCOP) has graduated approximately 5,700 volunteers throughout its 50-year history. Offered in partnership with Rusk Rehabilitation, this program is unique in that it offers volunteers the opportunity to explore the field of Emergency Medicine, Emergency Medicine-related rotations, and finely curated program activities.
Research Associate Internship
The Research Associate Internship grants students an opportunity to experience and observe multiple aspects of clinical research. Research Associates develop basic research skills and become an integral part of research projects and grants. Research Associates may be taught to collect and enter data and maintain databases, participate in laboratory meetings, and gain Principal Investigator mentorship and shadowing experiences. Research Associates also become oriented to the Institutional Review Board process for human subjects research. The current study seeking Research Associate candidates is the Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral to Treatment, Opioid Education, and Naloxone Distribution (SBIRT-OEND) study.
Applications
All programs require completion of a program application, submission of a personal statement, a current resume, and two letters of recommendation. Please note that no particular previous experiences are required. Each year, in selecting our volunteers, we look for a diverse group of applicants with equally diverse interests and experiences. More information on how to apply can be found here, while pertinent program dates are listed below. All interviews will be held virtually.
