 Mentoring 
 current student opportunities
Available: 08/01/12, Expires: 06/30/13

The MGH Primary Care Practice-Based Research and Quality Improvement Network has opportunities for HMS students interested in projects involving clinical epidemiology, health services research and quality improvement. Depending on the student's interest and the status of ongoing projects, students will work with faculty in the General Medicine Division to develop a study question and answer it within the time allotted. Students will take advantage of a well-defined data base with over 200,000 patients seen in one of 19 affiliated primary care practices.
