Medical Student Research Program

Opportunities for student research

Along the way, students acquire important scientific skills, such as the critical review of studies relevant to proposed projects, the application of the scientific method to a answer a research question, the generation and testing of hypotheses and the utilization of statistical approaches to data analysis. Students often develop a close working relationship with a faculty mentor, who can be a dynamic role model as a physician-scientist. Students looking for more research experiences will find additional opportunities such as the Doris Duke Clinical Research Fellowship (DDCRF) a structured year long research program offered at Iowa. Students who participate in research in a meaningful and substantive way throughout medical school can enroll in the Research Distinction Track (RDT) which when completed enables them to graduate with Research Distinction.
