In addition to addressing the IRB support needs of our programs, we have also been evaluating and adapting our toolkit of research support services as the needs of our Family Medicine Residency programs are identified. One such need is how best to involve and connect CHM medical students with resident and faculty research and scholarly projects.
To that end, I would like to introduce the MSU-PCRC community to our collaborat
ors at the MSU CHM Office of Research:
- Mark Trottier, PhD, Student Research Director
- Angela Zell, DrPH, MS, Research Coordinator
- Joan Ilardo, PhD, Director of Research Initiatives
- Nara Parameswaran, BVSc, MS, PhD, Senior Associate Dean for Research
If your program is interested in having CHM medical students involved in resident or faculty research projects, Drs. Trottier and Zell can help with matching by identifying students with interest in primary care research.
It is my hope that the MSU-PCRC can serve as a platform to connect learners and researchers across the spectrum of medical education by successfully integrating medical students, residents, and faculty into the research ecosystem. Please contact Drs. Trottier and Zell at CHM.Research@msu.edu if you are interested in learning more about this matchmaking process.
