Research Electives for Medical Students

MDC 0933 - Research Studies

This lecture series is for students interested in research. Faculty members from either clinical or basic science departments will present their research. Students will attend 6 to 10 of the lunchtime sessions where professors give 45-minute presentations, with time at the end for questions. Through this elective, students will be exposed to a breadth of research topics and will be able to interact with the speakers and other potential research mentors at RWJMS. In addition, one of the seminars will focus on finding a research mentor and will give students the opportunity to talk with other medical students who recently completed summer research fellowship projects.

MDC 0934 - Research Studies Practicum

Students who successfully complete the fall Research Studies elective can choose to work in someone's laboratory or with a research group for one afternoon per week, at a minimum of two times a month. Students may attend the laboratory session of more than one research mentor. Students are expected to spend at least 25 hours of time during the semester engaging in research activity in order to receive credit.
