Reviews

Clinical Research Coordinator

August 2021 Boston, MA
“Working with Dr. Fourman and the other physicians in the Metabolism Unit has been an amazing and informative experience. I have been given incredible opportunities to grow as a researcher while also getting to interact with patients daily. The Met U is a wonderful community and has been the perfect place for me to grow and learn in the time between college and medical school with the support of Dr. Fourman, who has been an important mentor to me throughout the medical school application process. ”

Clinical Research Summer Intern

May 2019 - August 2019 Boston, MA
“I worked closely with Dr. Fourman for the past two summers in a clinical research role. I was given a lot of autonomy and flexibility to shape the role based on my interests. I worked on multiple projects and gained exposure to primary clinical research, patient recruitment for a prospective clinical study, and study visits with patients at MGH’s Clinical Research Center. Dr. Fourman is a great mentor and took the time to talk to me about my interests and future. My experience working in the Metabolism unit was very positive. ”
