Research Clerkships

These elective clerkship experiences are designed to provide the student with a basic understanding of the selected area of interest. Students focus on the development and execution of a guided research project or participate with an existing study. Emphasis is placed on the integration of research into medical practice to prepare for more advanced study in the discipline. These clerkships take place in a wide variety of clinical, hospital or laboratory settings. Specific goals and learning objectives are determined by the supervising preceptor and a formalized plan must be submitted to the Office of Clinical Education and the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs in advance for consideration and approval. Credit value is variable (one to four semester hours) depending on the individualized study plan and required time on task.

Descriptions for all courses are provided in the Course Descriptions section.
