Research Study Coordinator
July 2018 • Davenport, IA
What I liked
I was able to suggest my own projects in order to get the experience that I wanted. Due to my ethics minor, I was able to join the Institutional Review Board and participate with those projects. My supervisor also allowed me to work independently on projects which required me to be absolutely confident and proficient with my abilities in research.
What I wish was different
Nothing, it's great.
Advice
The internship is really flexible, so it is benefit for the intern to look for his/her own projects.
