At New York Medical College, our medical students have significant opportunities to pursue research projects in every area of medical science. Our extraordinary research environment gives you access to state-of-the-art equipment and facilities, as well as resourceful faculty members dedicated to research projects of their own.
Conducting research as a medical student will teach you to critically appraise the scientific literature, develop effective presentation skills and enhance critical thinking. These skills not only make you more competitive for highly selective residency programs but are essential to professional success throughout your career. Your name on a peer-reviewed publication doesn’t hurt your career prospects, either! Plus, in the long-term, you will be contributing to the expansion of medical knowledge that provides the foundation for the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic modalities.
If you’re motivated to uncover new scientific discoveries, there are three different ways you can get involved:
- Apply to pursue research during medical school via the SOM Student Research Application
- Apply to pursue a summer research fellowship
- Present your research projects at the annual Medical Student Research Forum
