What I liked

I like my co-workers. I feel we all work well together as a team and communication is clear.

What I wish was different

Management is difficult to communicate with and I had to interview and speak with many different people before I even began onboarding.

Advice

It is a great organization to work for however it is healthcare and psychiatry therefore it's difficult work and easily can lead to burnout.

Student II

April 2019 • Cincinnati, OH

What I liked

I most enjoyed the clinical research studies that I contributed to. Interacting firsthand with the children with whom we conducted research was the most influential and motivating part of my experience.

What I wish was different

I wish that I had had more time to contribute to the clinical projects that I worked on.

Advice

Even if you feel that an opportunity may not be the best fit for you, it is better to try it and be disappointed than to never try it and wonder what could have been. At first, I was not sure if this clinical research experience would align with my strengths, but after trying it, I am glad that I was able to put forth effort and actually enjoy it.
