Introduction to Medical Student Research Program

The Office of Research Education's Medical Student Research Program aims to promote awareness of research opportunities and facilitate research success for OSU medical students.

Provide tips on how to find a faculty research advisor and current research opportunities.

Serve as a resource for information about research, research mentors and research funding for medical students.

Facilitate application to internal and extramural funding opportunities for eligible Medical Student Research projects.

Publicize news, research accomplishments, presentations, and publications by OSU medical students.

Biomedical Research Medicine What is Research Education?

Research Education is training that incorporates activities involved in the process of

Discovery through Critical Thinking, Innovation & Experimentation

Why Research?In Medical Students’ Own Words

“Although research may not be for everyone, the ability to locate and interpret journal articles is a key skill gained from performing research that will be useful as a practicing physician and will ultimately be a great benefit to their patients.

“I believe that involvement in scientific research during medical school equips me with both the intense skeptical inquiry of a research scientist and the clinical experience necessary to focus my research efforts toward enhancing patient care.”

“With the time that I devote to the research lab, I imagine that my time is devoted to a thousand unnamed patients. These are patients that I will never know and who will never know me, but their foothold rests in my efforts to take on an unanswered question, or a treatment that hasn’t been tried.”
