SOAR - An Einstein organized experience of mentor guided research. A great opportunity to work closely with a mentor in a field of interest throughout your time at Einstein. SOAR is open to all first year students and applications are due December 1st of first year.
Einstein Research Profiles - link to Orthopaedic Surgeons within the Einstein network that are conducting research. Includes previous publications, areas of interest, and physicians with a similar research focus.
Clinical Looking Glass - link to the Clinical Looking Glass (CLG) requirements. Clinical Looking Glass is an extensive patient database that provides access to a large amount of data that is used for many studies in the Orthopaedic Surgery department. After finding a mentor, students should discuss if CLG will be needed for their studies. Approval forms, CITI course completion (see below), and CLG training are required to gain access.
CITI Program - a subscription service providing research ethics education to all members of the research community. Even if you are not currently doing research involving human or animal subjects, it it always a good idea to spend time to get this certification, as most of the IRB- or IACUC-approved studies you want to participate, will require you to take and pass it.
Additional opportunities can be found by searching for summer research fellowships at other hospitals. (Ex: Summer Externship Program at NYU Langone Medical Center, Medical Student Summer Research Fellowship at HSS)
