• Description:
  In this article I offer my perspective as a doctoral industrial engineering student attempting to "break into" the health care domain. I provide practical advice for other students based on my personal experience collaborating with a local hospital to conduct my master's thesis. I offer recommendations for gaining access into a health care organization and strategies for recruiting practitioners as research participants. I hope to encourage students who may be initially intimidated by an unfamiliar domain to pursue health care research. [Description provided by NIOSH]
