4th Year Medical Students: Scholarly Projects in Patient Safety
Scholarly Projects in Patient Safety present Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons medical students with a unique opportunity to expand their knowledge and skill sets for conducting patient safety and health services research. Students interested in a Scholarly Project with CPSS will have the opportunity to join an existing patient safety research project, or develop a new project based on a recent adverse event, root cause analysis, or patient safety hazard observed during a clinical rotation. Students commit to 4 months of working on their project: the first 2 months (and preferably 3) are consecutive so students can be immersed in the team and project under the supervision of Jason Adelman, MD, MS, Executive Director of CPSS. The remaining months are used for data analysis and writing a Capstone and possible research paper.
