Health & Research Advisors

There are several ways in which a medical student can conduct research while managing their studies. Here are a few tips to get started:

• Choose a topic that you are interested in and passionate about. This will make the research process more enjoyable and motivating.

• Look for research opportunities that are related to your coursework. For example, if you are studying anatomy, you may be able to participate in a cadaver dissection research project.

• Seek out research mentors who can guide you through the research process. You can ask your professors, clinical supervisors, or other healthcare professionals for advice and assistance.

• Consider participating in ongoing research projects that are being conducted at your school or affiliated institutions. This can provide you with valuable research experience without having to start a project from scratch.

• Create a realistic schedule for balancing your research and coursework. Prioritize your coursework and allocate dedicated time slots for research activities.

• Utilize your downtime efficiently, such as during breaks or weekends, to work on your research project.

• Don't be afraid to seek help or support from your peers, colleagues, or research mentors if you encounter challenges or have questions.
