Our goal is to foster student achievement in their scholarly pursuits. The OSR is responsible for all research education and research programming for UMSOM medical students, as well as for overseeing the MD/Masters dual-degree programs. The OSR provides <strong>individualized research advising and support</strong> to all UMSOM medical students across a diverse array of research opportunities.</p> <p>In addition, the OSR partners with various community outreach efforts to promote research for pre-identified middle- to high-school-aged students and select, eligible undergraduate students to stimulate and foster interest and excitement about careers in medicine and other allied health fields.</p><h2>Goals</h2> <h3>Foundational Research Education and Training</h3> <p>Provide all UMSOM medical students with foundational research education and training and prepare them to capitalize on exceptional research experiences (basic, clinical or translational) in the biomedical and behavioral sciences through the <a href="https://www.medschool.umaryland.edu/osr/frct/">Foundations of Research and Critical Thinking (FRCT) course</a>. <br><br>The goal of this course is to foster excellence in the development of clinicians, clinical educators, and physician scientists by enhancing intellectual acuity, critical thinking and inquisitiveness. Through individualized scholarly activity, students will explore a topic of interest, gain specific skills, have access to role models in academic medicine, and enhance their academic portfolio for future application to competitive residency training programs.</p> <h3>Advising, Nurturing, and Mentoring</h3> <p>Provide advising, nurturing, mentoring, and opportunities for medical students to enhance their scholarly learning experiences through participation in one or a combination of programs offered and/or supported by the OSR (e.g. <a href="https://www.medschool.umaryland.edu/osr/prism/">PRISM</a>, <a href="https://www.medschool.umaryland.edu/osr/research-electives--extended-research/">Research Elective</a>, etc.).</p> <p>Students who desire an in-depth research learning experience or a research career may choose to consider one of several MD/Masters dual-degree programs offered by UMSOM in combination with or separate from a directed, extended research elective.</p><div class="hr"><hr></div><h2>Recent Events</h2> <h3>46th Annual Medical Student Research Day, 2023</h3> <p>The MSRD 2023 event was held on Tuesday, November 28 and Wednesday, November 29 at the SMC Campus Center.
