Research and Scholarly Projects

Abstract

The idea of doing a research or scholarly project can be very daunting, however, the satisfaction of seeing a project to its completion is very rewarding. In this article, we provide medical students with guidance on whether they should take on a research or scholarly project during medical school, and how to get started, publish, and then present their project. We also highlight how such a project can benefit an applicant applying for residency training.
