As interest in research among medical students continues to grow, it is our goal to increase the number and breadth of research opportunities available to them and to simplify the process of connecting them with faculty research mentors. Research is broadly defined as hypothesis-testing.

To help students find mentors, we have created one centralized database of faculty members who can sponsor medical student research. This includes:

• Projects during the summer between years 1 and 2, for example the Medical Student Summer Research Fellowship (MSSRF) program and the Research Scholars Program
• Projects for students during the school year, including an elective in the fourth year
• Yearlong opportunities between years three and four (e.g., EDGE and MD/MS dual degree program)

Interested investigators should be willing to mentor students to carry out research that is part of an ongoing or new/developing project. If you have a research project, please submit it with a brief description online via the Medical Student Research Opportunities Form.

If you have a potential or ongoing project, please submit it with a brief description online via the Medical Student Research Project Opportunities form. This information will be shared with all medical students on the Career Advising website. If you have previously submitted a project and would like to update or change it, please resubmit online using the same form.

The deadline for project submission is July 31, 2023. We will be reaching out halfway through the year to update the status of any project you submit and to collect any new projects that develop over the year. If you have questions, please contact Karen Shulik at klu23@drexel.edu.
