Title: Weill Cornell Medical College’s Research Associate Program Information Session
Description: Billie Johnsson will discuss Weill Cornell Medical College’s Research Associate Program. The Weill Cornell Medical College’s Research Associate Program (RAP) exposes college and post-baccalaureate students to research activities within the emergency department setting, specifically at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medicine (NYP/WCM). Program participants work in the Emergency Department between 8:00 AM – 12:00 AM, 7 days a week, to recruit patients for participation in research studies.
The Research Associate Program is a research program that occurs in a clinical setting. The program is designed to involve Research Associates in many elements of the performance of research while providing opportunities for observing clinical practice in the NYP/WCM emergency department and for extended interaction with clinical providers and patients. The program provides educational and practical experiences that increase knowledge about research methodology and clinical care and may enhance participant’s application to medical or graduate school.
Title: Clinical Volunteering 101 for Pre-Health Students
Description: Patricia Cusack, Ed.D., Director of Volunteer Services at MJHS (Metropolitan Jewish Health System, Hospice and Palliative Care,) will conduct an Information Session for students interested in learning about the details of the enrollment process for becoming a hospice volunteer. MJHS is one of the largest hospices in the tri-state area. Once the details are presented, there will be a QA segment so that participants will leave with a solid understanding of 1) the services that are rendered to persons who qualify for the end-of-life hospice support; 2) how volunteers fit into the clinical Interdisciplinary Team work that is unique to the hospice model; 3) what, exactly, volunteers are trained to do and, by contrast, what they are not permitted to do.
Hospice volunteers are a vital part of the Interdisciplinary Team and are under the guidance and supervision of a paid Volunteer Coordinator. Hospice volunteers provide companionship for patients and families, engage in leisure activities (reading, music, games, art, etc. with patients),
enable “life review” projects for patients who are interested, and a host of other creative activities. Of course, hospice services are rendered amidst a clinical setting – in a home, an IPU in a hospital, a nursing home or a hospice residence. An initial screening process is required, followed by 15 hours of training which is mandated by the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS). Becoming a hospice volunteer is an effective way for pre-health students to gain exposure to the profound experiences of end-of-life care for patients – emotionally, medically, spiritually and psycho-socially.

Title: The Medicine Business Panel Discussion
Description: For anyone who is thinking of having a medical practice -- it is like starting a business. The same way a hospital would look at where to locate their facilities in terms of demographics, competition, convenience for patients, drawing in top clinicians -- these things can come into play for a smaller practice. Also understanding from an entrepreneur both what it takes to start a business, how medical technology gets launched and how it may affect patient care, or how health data can be used for good care (or misused) are all valuable. So it's not just relevant to "Business" but it is relevant to clinical practice too.
Join us for an engaging discussion featuring panelists:
Marcel Botha is Founder & CEO of 10XBeta , a product development and engineering firm working in consumer and enterprise electronics, medical devices, and specialized robotics.
Margaret Burke is the Senior Vice President of Ambulatory Care and Hospital Operations, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Peter Shanley is a co-founder, investor, and strategic advisor to CoverUS Health.

Title: Association for Women in Science Networking with Dr. Carmen Melendez-Vasquez
Description: We will be hosting our most requested event (and our final event of the semester)- a personal lunch with a female Hunter College faculty member. This will be held on Wednesday, May 8 in room West 214, with Dr. Carmen Melendez-Vasquez. Lunch and refreshments will be served!
This is a great opportunity for students who are looking to learn about how to find research positions with faculty members, students interested in Professor Melendez-Vasquez's specific research, and students interested in Biology research at Hunter. This is also great for those of you interested in learning about the path to a PhD or an MD-PhD, what being a Post-Doc is like, and what the experience as a woman in STEM is like.
Dr. Melendez-Vasquez has studied at the New York University School of Medicine, London University, the Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research, and the Central University of Venezuela. Her research focuses on cytoskeletal regulation of myelin formation and repair. Myelin is a specialized membrane, which wraps around axons in the peripheral (PNS) and central (CNS) nervous systems. In diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis (CNS) and Guillain-Barre Syndrome (PNS), loss of myelin around the nerve cells results in conduction block and underlies the clinical deficit characteristic of these disorders. The long-term goal of her research is to help with the development of novel therapeutic tools to treat human demyelinating diseases.
