Medical Research Club
After conducting a survey among the Wright State Medical School class
of 2010, it was determined that about 30% of students were interested
in medical research at some point during their medical career. The
Wright State Medical School Research Club would allow students to:
- Learn about current research topics from researchers and physicians
- Understand and learn how to apply research techniques
- Understand why research is important to the medical career and how physicians can be part of the loop
- Discover research opportunities at Wright State and around the Dayton area
- Provide students with contact information to research opportunities via meetings, web sites, physicians, labs, etc.
