 Mentoring 
 current student opportunities
Available: 07/16/12, Expires: 07/16/14

Investigation of neuroendocrine and neural pathways regulating appetite and food intake in women with anorexia nervosa. The student may contribute to the following: prepare for subject visits by putting study documents, questionnaires, and supplies together; escort the subject to the Clinical Research Center and administer questionnaires; enter data and proof charts; and pull blood samples for analysis. There may also be opportunities to perform literature searches, basic data analysis, and prepare tables and figures.

Available: 07/16/12, Expires: 07/16/14

Project for dedicated medical student interested in helping to develop a protocol investigating the diagnosis and clinical significance of oxytocin deficiency.

Oxytocin Research[login at prompt]
Available: 07/16/12, Expires: 07/16/13

Opportunity for the development of a scholarly project related to the hormone oxytocin is available. The student may contribute to the following: prepare for subject visits by putting study documents, questionnaires, and supplies together; escort the subject to the Clinical Research Center and administer questionnaires; enter data and proof charts; and pull blood samples for analysis. There may also be opportunities to develop new studies, perform literature searches, learn basic data analysis, and prepare tables and figures.
