MEDI 8127 Scholarly Activities Pre-Clerkship Years

The goal of this summer directed study course is to immerse students in a rich, mentored scholarly research environment, from writing the proposal, via collecting data, to disseminating results. We anticipate that at any given point in time students may enter the Scholarly Activities- Pre-Clerkship course at one of three possible stages in the scholarly process: (1) developing a new project; (2) continuing work on an ongoing project; or (3) completing a project. All other enrollment in this course is contingent on approval from Assistant Dean of Education, Pre-Clerkship and Associate Dean of Clinical and Translation Research, the completed and approved Scholarly Activities Pre-Clerkship Agreement, and meeting of all prerequisite criteria.

Prerequisites: (1) Successful completion of MS1 Pre-Clerkship modules and (2) Students must submit their completed application for this course by March 15th to be registered for the summer course.

Start Date: First day of Summer Session listed as per the UTRGV SOM Academic Calendar
End Date: Write-up, attendance attestation, and list of presented/projected presentations submission by last official day of Summer Session as per the UTRGV SOM Academic Calendar
