The National Alliance of Research Associates Programs (NARAP)\u00a0has brought thousands of pre-health professions students from colleges and universities around the country into emergency departments (EDs) as Research Associates (RAs), data collectors for clinical research. With the pandemic, RAs cannot be in the EDs, but NARAP has adapted its recruiting to help students join the critical work of tracing through the
\nCOVID 19 Potential Contact Tracer Registry.<\/p>\n
Tracing is great for\u00a0pre-health professions students eager for clinical experience in this time of social distancing.<\/p>\n
