COMPLETING APPLICATIONS  
If you have not already submitted AMCAS or AADSAS you should be working quickly towards that goal. There are many questions that require small judgements on your part. Be thoughtful and make those judgments –don’t waste time asking each of us, all your friends and sdn – you can make good judgments.
SELECTING SCHOOLS We are happy to review your list of schools with you. In order for us to be helpful, an earlier applicant email outlined things for you to consider and steps to take to compile a tentative list of schools for us to review. Remember – do not hold up your application due to indecision about some schools to which you may apply.
 
Are You Withdrawing This Cycle?  
If you have decided to apply in a later cycle, please be sure to notify us – hprc@ase.tufts.edu at the least, as well as me and your committee interviewer if possible. We will hold all materials that you have submitted and you will register for a later cycle with us when you decide to apply.
OUR SCHEDULES
We are both away at professional meetings but return next week. In-person or phone appointments are scheduled through our 617-627-2000 number. Feel free to email quick questions.
JOB OPPORTUNITIES
CLINICAL RESEARCH COORD. I - (3017079)
The Eichler Laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, a translational neuroscience laboratory focusing on genetic disorders of lipid metabolism that affect the nervous system, seeks an exceptional candidate to implement and coordinate ongoing human research studies on leukodystrophies and inherited neuropathies. The clinical research coordinator will receive training and support from current study staff, as well as guidance and supervision of the Principal Investigator.
The clinical research coordinator will be primarily responsible for the implementation of the laboratory’s human research studies. Responsibilities include:
  • Subject identification and recruitment via phone screening, medical chart review, and referrals from physicians, support groups, and other foundations.
  • Scheduling of study visits, including coordinating schedules of subjects and all staff members involved. This is crucial, as many of our subjects are from out of state and one single trip to Boston may involve multiple appointments with doctors, nurses, and other specialists. 
  • Performing study procedures, which may include obtaining informed consent and shipping/processing samples.
  • Assisting in the collection of clinical data, which may include acquiring past medical records and administering study questionnaires.
 Additional day-to-day duties include:
  • Preparing study documents and handling correspondences with the Institutional Review Board (IRB) for reviews, amendments, and general upkeep.
  • Maintaining and updating study binders to reflect progress of projects.
  • Data entry, data analysis, and other research related duties as needed.

                        Qualifications
                        • BS or BA in life sciences, with interest in neurogenetics.
                        • Must be highly organized, detail-oriented, and have a strong motivation to learn.
                        • Must have excellent interpersonal, speaking, and writing abilities.
                        • One year prior experience with patient interaction, human research, and/or the IRB strongly preferred.
                        Regards, Carol and Stephanie
