We would like to congratulate all the students and faculty who participated in the 2019 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 149 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.
