Medical student Donald Gronbeck (above left) won the award for Best Clinical Poster at the 2009 Medical Student Research Symposium at Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine. The symposium, the first of its kind at Wright State, was organized by the Research Club to provide an opportunity for medical students to share their research with faculty, community physicians, residents and other students. The Research Club plans to make the symposium an annual event. Read more. See more photos. [All photos by Will Jones/WSU Center for Teaching and Learning; posted 052909]

Introducing Student Research Enterprise

Student Research Enterprise is a new web site sponsored by the Office of Research Affairs at Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine. Our goal is building a research community among medical students at WSU. Look here for news about the Research Club, faculty mentors, funding opportunities, and professional development.

Student Research Enterprise is powered by WordPress, an open-source web publishing platform that offers many interactive features. WSU medical students are invited to get involved in the site by posting comments and asking questions. We hope to engage student authors as the site evolves. You can follow the latest posts via RSS feed (see the Meta box in the sidebar for the URL). We hope to offer a mobile interface in the near future. Please share your ideas and student research experiences. For more information, visit Student Research Enterprise and contact Mark Willis in the Office of Research Affairs (775-3814; mark.willis@wright.edu).

Tell Us About Your Research Experiences and Aspirations

The Office of Research Affairs can assist Wright State medical students who are seeking research experiences during their medical education. Typically, research experiences take the form of summer electives between Years 1 and 2 and Year 4 electives. Some students arrange to work with faculty mentors year-round or at varying time intervals.

Please use our online form to provide information about your previous research experience and the types of research that may interest you during medical school. The information can be used to introduce you to appropriate BSOM department chairs and other faculty research mentors. Letters of introduction will be sent to faculty in December. Then you can follow-up by making an appointment with the faculty to discuss possible research experiences.

Faculty Research Mentors

A wide range of BSOM faculty can provide research experiences for Wright State medical students in good academic standing. Some of them have listed profiles of their current work on the Faculty Research Mentors web page. This list is by no means complete. For more information about research opportunities for medical students, contact Mark Willis in the Office of Research Affairs (775-3814; mark.willis@wright.edu).
