Clinical Research Volunteer -Cavlink Opportunity
Community Psychiatry Program for Research in Implementation and Dissemination of Evidence-Based Treatments (PRIDE)
Massachusetts General Hospital / Harvard Medical School, Summer 2015
This is a volunteer research position that gives undergraduates the opportunity to conduct clinical research in psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital. Volunteers will assist on dissemination and implementation studies (PI: Luana Marques, PhD) focusing on reducing disparities in racially and ethnically diverse mental health communities across Massachusetts. The program’s central focus is to reduce the disproportionate mental health burden in underserved, resource-constricted communities by increasing access and quality of care in community-based agencies. The overarching mission of Community Psychiatry PRIDE is to bridge the gap between science and practice by bringing evidence-based treatments (EBTs) to communities. Specifically, the volunteer will work on two primary studies:
1) An NIH-funded study examining the dissemination and implementation of Cognitive Processing Therapy in community clinics (such as MGH Chelsea HealthCare Center in Chelsea, MA)
2) A study examining the development, pilot testing, and implementation of evidence-based behavioral health programming at Roca, Inc.
Applicants should have an interest in pursuing a graduate degree in clinical psychology, psychiatry, or public health. Spanish-speaking applicants preferred. Applicants should demonstrate outstanding academic achievement. Applicants will be asked to work full-time (40 hrs/week) for the summer (June-August).
Applications should be submitted by March 16th at 5pm. To apply, please send a copy of your unofficial transcript and a resume/CV to ldixon1@mgh.harvard.edu
