Advanced Research Pathway

Overview

Students enrolled in this pathway will complete extensive research with a faculty mentor during the third or fourth year of medical school.

The research can be completed in any 5 months from March of the third year through graduation, but the 5 months must be consecutive. Students will be required to present a poster at Research Day and give a final presentation to their mentor, research team, and curriculum faculty.
