Year IV Research Selective

Course Description

This course is a lab-, clinic- or IT-based practical course that begins in the summer of year 4 (as students transition from year 3 to year 4). There will be a formal selection process, based on academic eligibility, administered by the Office of Research and Faculty Development, in conjunction with Academic Dean’s office and the Academic Standing Committee. Students will be selected in April and May preceding the summer. Participants, with the assistance of the Office of Research and Faculty Development, will obtain necessary regulatory approvals/training to conduct human, animal research or handle biohazardous materials. Students will choose a lab and mentor from among a list provided by the Office of Research and Faculty Development and spend approximately 2 months in the summer and continue into year 4, to carry out a clearly defined research project. The summer will be devoted to developing the skill-set needed for the project and will continue throughout the year, culminating in a Research Presentation on Student Research Day, during the spring semester. The quality of the presentation will be judged by peers and by faculty attending. There will be a 1st, 2nd & 3rd place awards. 0 credit
