COM Honors Research Colloquium 2020 Highlights
BY SHAHRZAD BAZARGAN, PHD, DIRECTOR, MEDICAL STUDENT RESEARCH THESIS PROGRAM
Medical Education programs play a crucial role by instilling the core knowledge, attitude, and tools that provide the impetus for becoming a clinician-scientist. The CDU / UCLA Medical Education program is committed to preparing excellent physicians by providing research and practical training for individuals interested in serving medically disadvantaged populations in urban areas.
Since 1995, students enrolled in the program are required to engage in longitudinal research activities under the auspices of the Medical Student Research Thesis Program( MSRTP), which culminates in the submission of a senior thesis. Like many other programs, MSRTP has its challenges and successes. However, at the end of the day, it matters what our students receive from this experience.
