Thirty-one medical students were selected to participate in the Student Research Program in Academic Medicine in the spring of 2009. The students spent 10 weeks during the 2009 summer with a research mentor doing their own research projects.
Medical students are encouraged to consider participation in this program as a launching pad for other research opportunities in their medical education as they develop into physician scientists.
"Clinical translation of scientific discoveries needs the coordinated action of scientists and clinicians. Bridging the worlds of the research lab and the clinic is made possible through the work of physician-scientists."
MISSION
To contribute to the number of physician-scientists by encouraging and fostering a generation of medical students interested in biomedical research.
OBJECTIVE
To create opportunities for medical students to experience hypothesis-driven research focused on themolecular basis of disease with clinical transllation potential.
