Job description
Department
BSD MED - General Internal Medicine - Tung Research Staff
About the Department
Recovery Legal Care is a legal assistance program at the University of Chicago Medicine Trauma Center that provides on-site civil legal support to patients and families undergoing violence recovery. Our goal is to help build an integrated healthcare system that acknowledges the deep and far-reaching impacts of social and structural inequalities. These inequalities are often at the root of many health problems, including violent injury, and can also impede meaningful recovery. Medical-legal partnerships integrate the unique expertise of lawyers and legal advocates into healthcare systems, so that clinicians and violence recovery specialists can work together with lawyers to address structural problems.
We currently offer a broad range of services, including obtaining and retaining various public benefits that include SNAP; Medicaid; Medicare Savings Program; cash assistance for families with children, the elderly, and the disabled; Social Security benefits; home health services via the Medicaid Waiver program and Crime Victim Compensation. Currently, our services are being offered to patients who are admitted to the UChicago Medicine Trauma Center for violent injuries. An on-site legal advocate is available to provide in-person legal assessments for eligibility of services. Legal services are provided in partnership with Legal Aid Chicago (www.legalaidchicago.org) and needs are assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Job Summary
The Research Analyst will work closely with a physician-led team of investigators and educators (Drs. Zakrison and Tung) on a grant focused on providing free legal aid and assistance to patients affected by violent injury. The Research Analyst will be supervised on a day-to-day basis by the PIs.
