Harvard Catalyst Profiles

If you are interested in surgery and anesthesia, and, more specifically, in understanding the causes of life-threatening operative complications and devising preventive measures, then this opportunity is for you. You will be joining an energetic and enthusiastic group of physicians, residents, and medical students in the Department of Anesthesia, Critical Care and Pain Medicine at MGH. We are interested in preventing the risk of pulmonary aspiration that has recently been associated with the use of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists. We were one of the first three groups to recognize this problem and currently are one of the most active groups to produce and publish science on it. Your potential role is flexible, and, depending on your preferences and abilities, will involve collecting and analyzing patient data from electronic records, reviewing literature and assisting with manuscript writing. The goal is to help you provide results that would justify inclusion as a co-author in a published manuscript. Timing is flexible, but preference will be given to applicants that can and will start in the spring as a part-time effort and commit for a 3 week full-time engagement during the summer vacation. Three positions are available. Check PubMed for our recent publications if this interests you. This research is not funded by external bodies, and no additional funding is available from the mentor.
