If I was in charge of running this
organization, I would give more opportunities for professional development in
class. For instance, majority of the EMRAPers are juniors that want to attend
medical school. I would provide them with mentors who can teach them how to
conquer the medical school application process; I would hire people who can
help them with mock interviews (similar to how we did mock consents before
being able to enroll patients in studies).
Also, if I was in charge, I would provide
EMRAPers with certification classes for CPR/First AID and any other classes
that they may need for jobs such as patient care technicians. I would also
provide internships for them after they finish with their EMRAP internship so
that they can continue to professionally develop.
Another aspect that I would change is to
provide EMRAPers with more opportunities to get together outside of class. For
instance, I would host a movie night/study night outside of classes and provide
the EMRAPers with snacks and food. I would also provide EMRAPers with free food
of their choice during their shifts; I would also give them several gifts such
as EMRAP t-shirts, portfolios, pens, etc. I want to do this because I want the
EMRAPers feel that they are appreciated for their work.
These are some things I would do if I was CEO
for day, but for now, I think I will just stick to being a clinical research
assistant.
