We are looking for a volunteer intern to join our research team in conducting various research projects at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine in the Department of Medical Social Sciences. The studies the intern would be assisting with primarily focus on various psychosocial facets of both Latinx and non-Latinx cancer survivors’ experiences, in order to reduce disparities in cancer outcomes and improve treatment self-management following cancer diagnosis and treatment.
This intern would assist with various tasks in support of multiple studies with cancer patients. Some of the tasks include reviewing patient records, screening, recruiting, consenting, and completing assessments with patients both in English and Spanish, managing and aiding in the analysis of data, translating study materials into Spanish, and aiding in the development and implementation of an eHealth intervention.
Interested students would need to commit to coming into the lab for two to three days per week (12 hours weekly) for a year. We are looking for two interns, one where spoken and written fluency in Spanish is required, and one where this is not required. Having research experience and psychological, social and/or medical interests is strongly preferred. Students could also benefit from receiving academic credit from their internship.
