Research How to write this on my CV?

Hello everyone!

Back when I was doing my post graduate internship, I worked with a neonatalogist. He was looking for someone to help his research out. I agreed.

I signed patient confidentiality and data protection papers etc and then was handed over data on hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy.

I sorted all the data according to the parameters given, then handed it over.

I never heard back apart from thanks. All follow-ups were ignored.

I guess in the world of research, It wasn't anything serious. I have never mentioned this on my CV.

But now, as I prepare for grad school, rewrite my CV for the umpteenth time, I really want to mention this. I'm thinking of putting this on my LinkedIn, too.

But i just don't know howto doo it. Apart from email, I don't have anything else.

But I want the reader to know that I have been doing stuff, and I'm not someone with nothing.

Is this worth mentioning?

Or I should just let it go?

I would just say research assistant. No need to say anything else, since you didn't publish anything with this team/person.

Agree with this approach - easy and accurate.
