Being a medical student, I haven't yet found time for a steady job, but I keep my computing skills honed by
designing and webmastering our class website, working on the UR Well free student-run clinic site, and helping out when I can with the
brain-computer interface project at RIT.
Last year I had a Graduate Assistantship Position as the Webmaster
of the Computer Science Department. My main task had been
to redesign the existing website. I have worked on this task from
both ends - putting information into mySQL databases, and using
PHP interfaces to give the website a new look and to enable faculty
to edit their own database information on the web.
Overall, I enjoy any part-time position which enables me to apply
my skills - whether medical, psychological, or computer science,
to provide people with needed information, or to make people's
lives easier and/or better. I especially enjoy finding innovative
ways of automating monotonous computer tasks using programming,
macros, and any other tools at my disposal.
I have also worked at a number of other web designing positions
at RIT, making websites for the departments of Chemistry and Pre-Medical
Studies, the Center of Materials Science and Engineering, and the
Center for Biotechnology Education and Training.
I have also designed a website for the use of ENT residents at
Strong Memorial Hospital, called the Otolaryngology Multimedia Center
of Rochester (OMCOR). This website enables the residents to put
up their presentations on the web, where students can easily access
them.
Through my time at RIT I've also had the opportunity to teach several
programming lab sections, be a teaching assistant in a Physiology
& Anatomy lab, and teach a class in MS Access at the VA Hospital
in Canandaigua during my co-op there. Teaching is one of the most
enjoyable jobs that I've had so far, and I am always looking for
opportunities to teach again (when I have time that is).
