Future Research Opportunity: Clinical Trials

This is not a posting for a specific project. Rather than recruiting for one opening, Mohit Bhandari (Chair of Surgery, Surgery) would like to get to know promising students now, and may reach out to students from this group when a project, funding, or a position opens up.

There is no fixed start date and no guaranteed immediate position. Expressing interest puts you in front of this researcher now, so they can get to know you before an opportunity exists rather than after it has been filled.

About their research: Dr. Mohit Bhandari’s research focuses on improving outcomes for patients with musculoskeletal injuries through large-scale clinical trials, evidence-based medicine, and surgical research. His team studies questions in orthopaedic trauma, fracture care, and clinical outcomes, with the goal of translating research evidence into better patient care. Students joining the group may contribute to clinical research projects through literature reviews, data collection and analysis, manuscript development, and other stages of the research process.

If something comes up, the project, length, hours, and whether it is paid or for credit will be worked out directly with the researcher.
