Medical Student Research Office
All MD students are required to meet with the Medical Student Research Office within the first semester of medical school to gain an understanding of the research landscape and how they can find different opportunities and get involved. Joining Specialty Interest Groups, NEXUS Opportunities and Professional Organizations are also avenues for finding research projects.
By graduation, MD students must complete one scholarly project. Many students will choose to work on this project during the summer between 1st and 2nd year.
