- Goals Goals Fired Up! n NARAP Clinical research that
efficiently enrolls unprecedented numbers of participants in short
time frames New way to facilitate primary health care for a large
percentage of the US population Evaluated, significant clinical
experience as one of the determining factors for health
professional school admission

- Research Associates (RAs) RAs are pre-health professional
students who volunteer in the emergency department (ED) as
