My MSSRP research experience
The summer after my first year at BUSM I had the opportunity to join a research study through a collaboration with the Medical Student Summer Research Program (MSSRP) and the Center for Addiction Research and Education (CARE) Unit at BMC. I currently work on the REBOOT study with Dr. Alexander Walley, which focuses on using behavioral intervention strategies to reduce opioid overdose and days of opioid use. I have been able to work with the team to conduct participant interviews and design tools to track overdose events. As part of the CARE Student Program I also had the opportunity to shadow and interact with many different providers and care team members throughout the Grayken Center for Addiction at BMC. This research has been a great way to learn about the field of Addiction Medicine, and I have had the opportunity to work with some incredible faculty members and mentors.
