Abstract

Although medical student research has been advocated as a valuable learning experience and specific programs have been developed to offer research opportunities, only a minority of students have participated in these programs. We report a student research program that is integrated into a required six week clinical clerkship in Community Health, thus ensuring that all students participate in a research project. The program offers the additional advantage that research projects are student initiated and executed. Although the limited time frame usually results in pilot or exploratory studies, the program introduces students to all facets of a research project within a community setting and promotes independent learning. The program has been well received by students and may stimulate further research interests in some students.
