MD ID 6001 - Research & Innovation: How to Be an Excellent & Communicative Scientist

The Rural & Underserved Utah Training Experience (RUUTE) program is excited about the rural research opportunities planned for medical students in the upcoming academic year. The Research & Innovation elective is an opportunity to explore the fundamentals of research and scientific communication and inspire future physicians and clinician-scientists to discover how patient care and diagnosis, prevention and treatment of disease can be largely influenced by biomedical research. Students will also participate in a Research Symposium once they return to campus to share their findings to the School of Medicine community. Upon completion of the elective, students will have developed a broad understanding of rural populations and their health-related issues, challenges, and determinants and the culture of rural and/or underserved communities.
