• GRATCC - The Greater Rochester Area Tobacco Cessation Center is a State-funded project to train physicians and other clinicians in how to intervene with their patients who smoke. It also provides stop-smoking counseling sessions to more than 200 referred patients per year. Students working in "GRATCC" help prepare materials for doctors' offices, collect data from surveys, provide data management, and make telephone calls to smokers to see how they are doing. A car is desired, but not a requirement (if driving to doctors' offices - student is reimbursed for mileage). An awesome opportunity to learn how to implement a large project for physicians and smokers in a 5-county area.

• Cardiovascular Health - Assist with web-design, distance learning, surveys, and evaluation techniques. Many projects are underway in the Rochester area for students to be involved with as research assistants. Great for pre-med students, technology-oriented students, and other students interested in health and education.

Dr. Ossip-Klein, Dr. McIntosh, and their teams are nationally known for development of effective telephone "Quit Lines", website interventions, and other self-help materials to assist smokers quit on their own.
