Harvard Catalyst Profiles

The Patient-Reported Outcomes, Value, and Experience (PROVE) Center is seeking medical students interested in pursuing research focused on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in many different aspects of clinical care, quality improvement, and value-based healthcare. We are interested in students willing and able to commit to a full year dedicated to research. The PROVE Center is internationally known for their contributions to the measurement and implementation of PROs in clinical practice, research, quality improvement initiatives, and value-based healthcare. While at the PROVE Center, medical students will have the opportunity to learn from our multidisciplinary team of clinicians, quality of life researchers, qualitative researchers, psychometricians, statisticians, and our extensive network both within and outside of Mass General Brigham, including the MGB PROMs Program. Medical students will also have the ability for mentorship from our program leaders and associated faculty based on students' prior experience and interests. In addition, students will be invited to our PROVE Center meetings, where they can learn from leaders in the field of PROs and qualitative research to enhance their medical education. Interested candidates should contact Melissa Poleo, administrative director, mpoleo@bwh.harvard.edu or 617-525-9846.
