Are you interested in assisting with a research project this summer?
Objective of The Study Group – University of Arizona:  For the purpose of providing information regarding the value of orthopaedic procedures, we currently collect, evaluate, manage, and communicate the outcomes of clinical applications of evidence-based orthopaedic practice for program evaluations, quality initiatives, and research projects at Banner University Medical Center – Tucson/South.

Objective of the Orthopaedic Outcomes Internship Program:  The objective of the first semester of the Orthopaedic Outcomes Internship Program (OOIP) is to provide  students with the opportunity to assist with the collection of sensor data for ascertaining functional outcomes and survey data for ascertaining patient-reported outcomes, to introduce the skills required to conduct clinical research, and to provide an opportunity to preview and/or propose program evaluations, quality initiatives, and/or research projects in which these skills could be utilized.

If you are interested in learning more about the Orthopaedic Outcomes Internship Program please send a resume along with a paragraph describing your interests in orthopaedics and/or biomechanics to Cynthia Fastje at cfastje@ortho.arizona.edu.
