Mission Statement

The mission of CRISP is to foster an environment for faculty, residents, and students who are conducting clinical research and simultaneously expose vetted pre-health students to the world of clinical research.  In addition, we seek to provide our CRISP Research Assistants with an opportunity to observe patient care in an urban academic emergency department as well provide career counseling and support as required for the career that they anticipate. 

The Clinical Research Investigative Studies Program (CRISP) is an internship program for undergrad and graduate students, and is part of the research arm of the OHSU Department of Emergency Medicine. Under the leadership and guidance of the CRISP Medical Director and CRISP Program Director, the program operates 16 hours a day, 7 days a week. There are typically around 5 active research studies in which CRISP interns are involved.  The beauty of this program is that it provides an opportunity for pre-health students with a serious interest in a health career to work in a busy academic emergency department, interact with patients, gain research skills and clinical knowledge.
