Family Medicine Student Summer Research

Introduction
The Summer Research Program in Family Medicine provides medical students with unique opportunities to carry out clinical research aimed at improving medical practice and patient care. In past summers, students have worked with faculty mentors on a variety of projects including chronic fatigue syndrome, patient autonomy and health behaviors of university faculty.

In the Family Medicine Summer Research Program, the student will carry out a clinical research study and learn the basics of planning, implementing, and reporting a research study. Recent Family Medicine research students have had their studies published in well-respected medical journals and have presented reports at national and international conferences. We hope that through their work with mentors in the department, students will become more aware of the research and clinical activities of Family Medicine faculty and develop an interest in pursuing Family Medicine as a specialty. For more information please contact Mary Merchant, Ph.D.
