Support our efforts as we become the nation's premier 21st century college of medicine.
We have completed another successful year of the FIRE module and are getting ready for the 80 students of the incoming class of 2015. FIRE is a two-year student research module that runs concurrently with the rest of the medical school scheduled courses. Students are required to present a final poster in March of their second year. Some students may wish to continue their research afterwards, but it is not required.
In preparation for our third year, we are updating our research mentor database and are looking for additional community mentors. If you want to get involved in what are sure to be exciting new research projects envisioned by the bright, young doctors of the future, please complete and submit our FIRE Mentor Interest Form. Alternatively, you can email us the FIRE Research Mentor Interest Form in MS Word format.
Do not forget to provide your contact information as well as a short paragraph about your research interests. The research interests information you provide should stimulate students to ask research questions and may suggest specific ideas for possible student involvement.
Research ideas may include:
