Research Opportunities
Some specialties recommend research experience while others do not. Talk to your faculty advisor about whether the specialty you are seeking requires research experience. All programs would look at research favorably but it may not enhance your residency application if you plan to join a community residency program in primary care. If you are interested in pursuing research, consider participating in a Research Externship between your MS1 and 2 year. A list of those faculty interested in research mentoring can be found on the Student Affairs website. Please contact any of the research scientists and clinicians. Most of those are unpaid and volunteer so please clarify this when you speak to the faculty member. Many of these labs offer longitudinal research experiences, some offer 1 or 2 month research electives.
The Student Affairs website under Special Notices has various research and fellowship opportunities outside of the University. As these come in, they are posted on the website. Some are paid and some are volunteer.
Annually, in early February, WSU-SOM will also send you a list of Summer Research Externships via the school and the scientists here. This list is currently in process and will come from Deanna Dona and Dr. Pauley from the Office of Graduate Programs.
If you are interested in ANY faculty member’s research who is not on this list, do not hesitate to introduce yourself and inquire regarding any opportunities. Most faculty are excited about working with motivated students.
