See what our past Interns say about the program:

 
Being part of the RV/RQI team was an incredible experience. Not only did I improve my clinical research skills and observe remarkable medical practice from some of the leaders in emergency medicine, but I got to meet some amazing people and made long lasting friendships. You never knew what was going to come through the doors at HCMC and the challenges that came along with them, but I’m glad I got to experience it with the RV/RQI team!

The RV/RQI program is where I met some of my best friends and learned what it means to be a physician-leader of and for the community. If it wasn’t for this program, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
— Will Miller, University of Minnesota Medical School
The RQI program at HCMC provided me with an amazing first-hand opportunity at conducting clinical research within a major health institution. I learned so many valuable lessons about being a leader, team member, and researcher while I was an RQI; all the qualities I gained from this experience have benefitted me since I started training to become a physician. This program was invaluable to me for wanting to continue a career in medicine.

Participating in the RV program at Hennepin Healthcare was truly live changing for me. One of the most important lessons I learned while in this program has been that while accuracy, diligence, and knowledge can get you a long way, teamwork is what truly determines success in the medical field. I am thankful to have had this experience while still in undergrad.

The RV/RQI program was an amazing opportunity to learn about clinical research, interact with patients, and observe the practice of medicine in a level I trauma center. I am super thankful for my time at HCMC and it has been valuable as I continue on my journey to becoming a physician.
