Help in a study of collaboration and earn $50
Want to help promote collaboration among physician teams?! Investigators are looking for MS3 and MS4 students to participate in a qualitative study of specialty identity formation. Participants will be offered a $50 gift card for one hour of their time.
What does participation entail?
- Those selected will be scheduled for a 60-minute Zoom interview.
- You will be asked about your experience in determining what specialties you might want to pursue and how the learning environment impacts your perception of specialties.
- Interviews will be recorded and transcribed.
- All transcriptions will be de-identified and confidential.
- You will receive a $50 gift card of your choice.
If you are interested, please fill out this survey.
Thank you for considering this, from Drs. Caitlin Schrepel and Ashley Amick of UW Medicine.
Seattle volunteer opportunity

The team is in need for volunteers to help support the health screening stations, help attendees fill out paperwork, etc, she said.
