Student Volunteer Research Opportunities
UMass Mind accepts highly motivated students and trainees at all levels who are interested in gaining clinical and research experience in patients with mental illness. We have multiple ongoing pharmacological or psychosocial clinical trials at any given time.

Volunteers will assist with a variety of tasks including data management, analysis and presentation, and literature review. In addition, interested students can also help with ongoing clinical trials.

- Highly disciplined, motivated students.
- Students interested to pursue a medical degree or health related graduate degree are preferred.
