Finalists and Honorable Mentions
We would like to congratulate all the students and faculty who participated in the 2018 IMPRS Program. The program’s mission is to provide a wide range of research and scholarly opportunities to the IUSM student body. The purpose is to enrich the research and scholarly education and knowledge for the medical students. This summer we hosted 103 medical students from all 9 campuses doing research and scholarly activities in the areas of: laboratory and translational research, clinical research, health research outcomes and community health education. During the summer, the student worked with their assigned mentor at the designated campus on a project they have derived and planned. Each week, students attended a Seminar Series to learn about different research topics as well as responsible conduct of research, career development and work/life balance. At the end of the summer session, students participated in the poster session. The event showcased 118 posters of projects completed by the IUSM medical students Class of 2021. Each student presented their project to the faculty judges who have volunteered their time to be a part of this event. We want to congratulate and recognize the following students who were selected to do the oral presentation on August 1 and to the students who received Honorable Mention.
