Q&A

1.  What are some services you provide that are often overlooked?

Some available On-Site Testing/Interventions include:

• Rapid strep, flu & blood glucose tests
• EKG
• Vaccine administration
• Ear wax removal
• Urinanalysis
• Joint injections
• Skin tag removal
• Suture (stitch) & staple removal
• Nebulizer treatment (asthma/bronchitis treatment)

2. Can you go more into detail on “Old School Style”?

Many of the gripes about the American healthcare system revolve around quality and accessibility.  It’s frustrating to have a pressing medical need, only to sit in a crowded waiting room for over an hour and then get just 10 minutes of the harried doctor’s time.  Patients want to be respected and heard, but instead they often feel they’re on a number on an impersonal assembly line. “Old school style” seeks to regain the traditional holistic approach of calm, nonjudgemental listening and treating each patient as a unique individual.

3. How is an in-house doctor beneficial to Quantbot employees?

Being available when needed increases employee productivity by preventing illness and decreasing the need to take a day off work.   Employees can get in contact for remote consultation whenever they feel the need arise, which mitigates potential anxiety and inappropriate expenditure of time and health care dollars.

Last Thursday, Michi, Paul, and Ashar went down to the Baruch campus to give an exclusive presentation to the Masters of Financial Engineering students. Along with talking about Quantbot and showcasing our intern program, the members of management enjoyed speaking one-on-one with the students after the presentation. There was lots of interest in Quantbot as a company, and we also look forward to speaking more in depth with the students in the coming weeks.

As part of the continued recruiting for our summer 2020 internships, Quantbot attended the MIT Master of Finance (MFin) Networking Night in Boston. We brought along once-interns, now full-time hires to the event to meet prospective intern candidates and speak about their own experiences as Quantbot interns.

As a bonus, one of our attendees is even a MFin alum! Many students we met were interested in our available internships offering the opportunity to work directly with quant researchers. It was a great night for us and we received a lot of interest and encouragement from the students we met.

The start of summer and the warmer weather brings a new batch of summer interns at Quantbot! With most of our interns having started, they and us were invited to a welcome reception hosted by Schonfeld Strategic Advisors at Chelsea Piers this past Tuesday. This was a great opportunity for our interns to meet and chat with each other and meet some of the Schonfeld interns as well. We're all looking forward to a fun and productive summer season!
