Summer Research Internship for GW School of Medicine & Health Sciences – Consumer Product Injuries

  • Injuries lead to significant morbidity and healthcare resource utilization and are the top cause of death among youth in the United States.  Public health authorities and healthcare systems routinely develop and implement injury prevention programming and a key aspect of these activities involves injury surveillance.  The primary objective of this summer internship is to produce an epidemiological analysis of trends in consumer product injuries (of interest to the student) using existing databases of consumer products injuries and hospitalizations.
