Students are encouraged to participate in research activities under the supervision of faculty in the Department of Family Medicine. Students may assist faculty in ongoing projects or may seek faculty sponsorship of student-initiated research.
Research rotations may extend from one to several modules according to individual student scheduling needs and within the constraints of medical school policy.
Students wishing to obtain credit for research modules must identify a faculty member willing to serve as their sponsor and submit a proposal and letter of support from their sponsor to the course director for his approval. The proposal must include a written description of the project including goals, objectives, methods, faculty supervision, means of evaluation and educational rationale.
