So this is the deal...a 2nd yr undergrad...currently a academic associate at local hospital in the ER...And recently received an offer to be involved in a research involving sickle cell disease..Looks like Im pretty much going to be a data collector, collecting data from the patients who have been enrolled since 2002. Do you guys think I should take the offer, or stick with my fully hands on ER volunteer job.

If the academic associate position allows large amounts of shadowing, pick that 1000% over the other.

On the other hand, if you've been doing ER stuff and would like a change of scene, you can learn a lot interacting with patients/research subjects. The interviewing skills will be useful later on.
