Internship Logistics You will be expected to submit an
electronic summary of your weekly progress to Ina Zamfirova every

attendance log to keep track of your hours (you can use the CMS
time sheet for this) Either your mentor or Ina Zamfirova can sign
off on your time cards
Slide 9
Work station location your mentor may be able to secure a
station for you within his/her department, or you may be provided
with a work area at the Russell Research Institute, or you may
spend some of your time at Russell and some with your mentor This
will be determined once you are matched to a mentor Please also be
prepared to bring a personal laptop Internship Logistics

Slide 10
Internship Logistics: Publications Please be aware this
internship may not, and probably will not, provide you with a
manuscript publication at the end of the 8-week period, especially
if you are assigned to a brand new study that has not yet been
started The process of starting and conducting a study, especially
if IRB approval is required, and depending on complexity of study,
could take up to one year, in many cases more a publication will
require long-term investment (and patience!) on your end, keeping
in mind this is a vigorous clinical setting where patient care
comes first for your mentor
Slide 11
Many of you may be provided the opportunity to work on case
reports which will result in publication (again, timeframe cannot
be guaranteed) or may be asked to assist with poster development
and/or presentation Your mentor may invite you to attend and help
present the study at a conference, but again, this will most likely
be taking place once the internship has concluded we have mentors
from last years internship who are just now (in 2015) reaching out
to 2014 interns to attend conferences and present their work on the
study We are making the mentors aware of the importance of
recognition so we anticipate that even if at a later time, you will
be appropriately acknowledged for your work Internship Logistics:
