Dear Students,
Welcome to Discovery! This course marks the transition from learning evidence-based medicine to creating the evidence that will guide future practice. While other courses teach the science and practice of medicine as it exists today, Discovery empowers you to generate new knowledge that advances patient care, medical education, and community health, helping shape the future of medicine.
Research is essential to modern medicine. Whether your interests lie in basic science, clinical investigation, health services research, quality improvement, medical education, public health, AI, or innovation, Discovery offers you the opportunity to ask meaningful questions, develop new skills, and work alongside faculty mentors who are committed to your growth as both a scholar and a future physician.
More than completing a project, Discovery is about cultivating curiosity, critical thinking, evidence evaluation, and clear scientific communication- skills that will benefit you throughout your medical career regardless of the specialty you choose.
We are excited to support you during this important stage of your education and look forward to celebrating your accomplishments and contributions to the medical community.
