Project Description
We have 2 spots available for students in this project that is centered in the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Emergency Department. The objective of this study is to assess the prevalence and specific symptoms of Long Covid in underserved populations whose primary access to health care occurs in emergency departments (EDs). Students will become part of our Emergency Medicine research team consisting of several Emergency Medicine faculty members at UCSF. We hope to complete this project by December 2023, but it might continue beyond that time.
Institution: UCSF
Eligibility
- Since many of our patients are Spanish-speaking, a Spanish speaking student is preferred.
Responsibilities
Students will be in the ED conducting surveys regarding Long Covid symptoms in the underserved populations that come t emergency department. Students will also have multiple opportunities to shadow EM physicians. They will also have participate in our research meetings, during which they may learn about data analysis and manuscript preparation.
