Deep Brain Neurotech (DBN) FIRE Stream Study

The Deep Brain Neurotech (DBN) FIRE Stream is a collaborative program between UMD and FDA. We are currently conducting a research study on ADHD with two aims:

1) identifying EEG diagnostic markers of the disorder to complement or replace the subjective decisions made by clinicians, and

2) testing the effect of replacing the usual drug treatments with a non-invasive and harmless auricular Vagus nerve stimulator (in the form of headphones) to enhance focus without any side effects and with the additional benefit of relieving stress and tension.

While the research is led by Dr. Nevine El-leithy, there are members in charge of conducting the actual field experiments and collecting data along with other DBN BRAINIACS team members who handle interpreting the data. We are looking for volunteers who are clinically diagnosed with ADHD. The essence of our revolutionary DBN research is minimizing human error in clinical decision-making and designing alternative therapies for brain disorders in which drugs either cause a plethora of side effects or have no effect at all.

We need participants; take the ADHD Participant Interest Survey

 

We offer a reward of a Texas Instruments Chronos watch and a chance to win a $25 Amazon gift card.

Student jobs with ScribeAmerica at Frederick Memorial Hospital

My name is Dahlia Kronfli and I am one of the Chief Scribes for ScribeAmerica at Frederick Memorial Hospital in Frederick, MD. As some of our current scribes are gearing up to leave for medical school, our team is looking to hire a few more positive, hard-working team members. This PAID position gives you firsthand clinical experience of the rewards and challenges in medicine and will boost your application to medical, PA, NP, or nursing school. During each shift you work one-on-one directly alongside a variety of emergency providers to accompany patient visits and complete charting.

By gaining medical terminology, an understanding of patient workflow, and observing bedside manner, this is invaluable experience for those eager to gain a deeper understanding of the reality of medicine. Our providers love working with and teaching scribes and are happy to write proficient scribes recommendation letters. We are also a unique site in that we hire exclusively overnight scribes, greatly reducing the amount of overnight shifts day scribes have to work.

This is a competitive position that requires extensive training in emergency medicine. As this is an investment in each applicant, the screening process is selective. All applicants should have a typing speed above 60 words per minute; the faster, the better. Please note that currently we are seeking scribes with flexible schedules who can work full-time (four shifts a week) starting in late May, but all strong applications will be considered. This is an ideal job for those of you taking a gap year.

Take the next step towards a career in medicine; email us at frederickscribes@scribeamerica.com. First come, first serve. We look forward to hearing from you!
