Research curriculum within the MDCM Program听
Research is integrated throughout the MDCM program to foster critical thinking, scientific inquiry, and evidence-based practice. Students engage in both scholarly activities and formal training in research methods:听
1. Various scholarly activities included throughout the curriculum, e.g. Journal clubs, EBM small groups and assignments听
2. Formal courses focusing on research: Research Fundamentals 1 and 2 offered during the Fundamentals of Medicine and Dentistry (FMD) component.听
- RF 1 focuses on the elaboration of a research proposal. While the course objective is to produce this proposal, students can certainly approach faculty members to see if their research proposal could be carried out!听
- RF 2 focuses on the analysis and potential application of research results.听 This course allows the student to look at research results from the lens of both the researcher and the evidence-based clinician.听 听
3. Research electives: During Clerkship, 2-4 weeks research electives are available to students. More information is available on the Electives webpage.听
