Volunteers Welcomed
Students interested in a career in clinical research or healthcare are welcome to volunteer at our clinic! You will be working with our team of staff and volunteers to assist our group of research coordinators in the daily operation of Gordon Sussman Clinical Research. Under close and ongoing supervision, you will receive comprehensive training from Clinical Research Coordinators, and other volunteers to perform clinical research related tasks.
Volunteers will gain practical clinical research experience by:
- Performing research-related duties such as filing, archiving, and organizing study related documents. Additional tasks and projects include educating patients, booking and confirming appointments, and improving the clinical care of patients.
- Participating in conducting clinical research studies by actively recruiting patients, which will positively impact community health, save lives and improve individual health.
- Utilizing the latest medical software to manage medical records electronically. You will develop expertise in updating and interpreting electronic medical records by scanning documents, inputting patient information, and implementing software features. Through this experience, you will be in the vanguard of medical record management and will be an expert in using electronic medical records.
This position is a rich opportunity to learn about and become exposed to clinical research in a clinical setting. It allows one to observe how the principles of medicine are put into clinical research practice. You will observe how a caring therapeutic relationship with the patients and scientific evidence-based medicine work together to improve the health of patients. On numerous occasions, you will be invited to learn something unique and/or observe a medical procedure involving a consenting patient.
If you are interested in clinical research or medicine, this is a valuable experience for you to exercise and develop the diverse skill sets demanded in the clinical research or healthcare field. This unique opportunity is not available anywhere else!

Thus, we are seeking dedicated individuals who are able to commit 5-30 hours per week at our clinic for a total of at least 400 hours. Priority will be given to applicants who are graduates and/or have flexible schedules and are willing to commit more volunteer hours per week.
There is a lot to learn. It takes time for you to master the different skills taught and for us to know you and what you are capable of. Therefore, we require a minimum completion of 400 hours prior to the provision of a reference letter.
