| Research Associates (RA) Program in Emergency Medicine St. Vincent's Medical Center, Bridgeport CT |
Spring, 2010
The weekend-long orientation for the spring semester will be on
Saturday and Sunday, 23 and 24 January, 2010. The spring semester
will run through Sunday, 2 May 2010.
Subject to IRB approval, studies planned for the spring semester
include:
1. Dental Screening
Following our model from cancer screening studies, RAs will
determine when a patient or visitor last visited a dentist and assist
those who are not up-to-date in making that appointment
2. SPEED (Serving Patients Efficiently in the ED)
A time/motion study with RAs following an emergency physician for
their shift and recording decision and disposition times.

Spring and Summer Semesters, 2010
These studies will likely roll over to the summer semester
Summer, 2010 (First Block)
The weekend-long orientation for the first block will be on Saturday and Sunday, 5 and 6 June, 2010. This
block will run through 16 August.
Second Summer Block
The weekend-long orientation for the second block will be on Saturday and Sunday, 19 and 20 June. This
block will run through 30 August.
RAs are required to serve a minimum of ten (10) shifts per semester.
Because of housing and vacation issues, in the summer semesters we allow RAs to switch or serve extra
shifts during earlier weeks of the blocks to insure they get in at least their minimum number of shifts
Other Activities
Research Associates will be using results from previous RAs' work to provide service for our patients and
visitors by screening for Pap tests, mammograms, Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) tests, digital rectal
exams, colon-rectal cancer tests and tobacco cessation.

We anticipate this will result in each RA having research or service contact with well over 100 patients and visitors during their time with
us.
There will also be a number of extra-curricular activities available to summer RAs. Click here for details
