Kaulkin Ginsberg Kicks Off Fall 2014 Research Fellows Program

Kaulkin Ginsberg, the leading consultancy and M&A advisory firm focused on the accounts receivable management (ARM) industry, is pleased to announce that it initiated its fall semester research fellows program, in conjunction with the University of Maryland, College Park’s Department of Economics undergraduate studies program. Students will be conducting high end research on the healthcare accounts receivable management and revenue cycle management industries, utilizing the University’s broad research capabilities.

Since the start of the Great Recession, the ARM industry has experienced significant changes.  Executives must continuously have access to the highest level of authoritative information to make informed business decisions.  Each semester, upper classman undergraduate students  collect and distill macroeconomic and qualitative data within important market segments of the ARM industry.  Markets analyzed to date include student loans, government, cable, financial services and telecommunications.

The students are carefully selected by the Director of Undergraduate Economics Studies for the University of Maryland, Dr. Cindy Clement.  According to Dr. Clement, “Many undergraduates understand that to launch a career that fully matches their interests and abilities, they need “real world experience” in addition to their academic accomplishments.  But obtaining that experience while they are still building knowledge and skills is not so easy. This program is an excellent opportunity for students to efficiently gain such experience.  Interacting with professionals rather than academics and removing the somewhat artificial pressure of a earning a grade makes Research Fellows a fantastic complement to the department’s curriculum”.
