Crane Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Has anyone applied to the PRAISE program this year? I'm just curious but what sort of experience does everyone else have? If anyone has done it before, what was your experience like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgt.pepper Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I applied but i got rejected b/c of too much research experience ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apixaban85 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I've heard about it and I work with a lot of the PRAISE volunteers regularly. It's primarily focused on screening and recruiting patients that come in for specific studies such as fracture studies, IV effectiveness for diarrhea/vomiting etc. The volunteers are well involved in the screening process and they look up patients as they come into the department and determine if they meet the criteria for any of the studies. You work with both the doctors and nurses (but primarily the research nurses) along with other volunteers. It seems like an excellent way to get involved in clinical research and it can DEFINITELY open up a lot of avenues for you in the future. I would definitely recommend you applying and if you have any other questions about the program I can try to help you out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apixaban85 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I just looked it up. Sounds like the kind of program that would be great for people with zero research experience, not so great for everyone else. I wouldn't apply...would be wasting 5 hours/week and it's not even paid. Well consider that a lot of clinical research positions that are paid usually require clinical research experience from before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerena Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 If I lived in the area and was enrolled in studies I would definitely apply. Even with my current research job I probably would apply because I think what they do is interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerena Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Shame, this seems like a good fit for me. Sadly now is not the time. Sorry to hear about it. Do you think you'll apply in the future for it? P.S. Very off-topic, but I love your username. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope not, I'm hoping I'll be in med and get clinical research experience there As for my username... I find it pretty amusing myself. I was trying to pick something random that wouldn't oust who I am, but it seems like I had a pretty fitting Freudian slip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crane Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Ah I didn't hear back from them. The website says all interviewees will be contacted by today. oh well i guess its OTTNO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onaka Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Anyone know what kind of interview questions they ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobby Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Hey! Are you going to an interview this year too? I just went today. The questions are pretty basic interview questions. Why do you want to be a part of the program? Describe a past experience when you had to ______ (something related to the position). It was pretty informal. I went in with another candidate and we did the interview together. If you are going for an interview, good luck! Perhaps we'll end up working together!!

apache Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 haha, me2... just seems fun besides the interest in the research itself. plus sick kids makes me feel like i'm a kid again If I lived in the area and was enrolled in studies I would definitely apply. Even with my current research job I probably would apply because I think what they do is interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgt.pepper Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 They told me last year that I had too much research experience??? Lol. Did you guys do research before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobby Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Hm, that's odd. I do have research experience, including independent projects which I presented at international conferences (one of which I'm trying to make into a paper). With that being said, my experience is not in clinical research, so maybe that's why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onaka Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Dobby, did you hear back from them today? I haven't gotten any email. Kinda worried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
