Hi Everyone, I am the Director of the SOAR (Student Opportunities for Advancement in Research) Office, and we manage a research database. The objective of the SOAR research database is to enhance medical student research opportunities through a centralized platform that efficiently matches students with faculty and their projects. Since its initiation, SOAR has facilitated over 200 project opportunities for our medical students with faculty, serving as the primary institutional resource for understanding research regulations. Happy to connect and share ideas on this effort!

Hello everyone,

I agree that this could be a great discussion topic. I am the Program Administrator for the Department of Medical Student Research at the Macon and Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences art Old Dominion University (formerly Eastern Virginia Medical School). Our department is a little over a year old and we would love to discuss what everyone else is doing and how we are hoping to shape our department going forward. Would love to hear ideas and "things you would have done differently" since we are in our early stages.

Currently I maintain a small database of external opportunities that I can share with students and tailor it to their interests as we have a initial consultation with them regarding their plans and experiences. We also maintain a database of consulted student profiles that we can share with faculty who may be interested in including students. This allows us to send faculty curated students based on the skillset the students have and the needs of the faculty.

Thanks for kicking off a great discussion on this topic, @Angela Spencer! I noticed that @Mary Horton mentioned wanting to meet to discuss this more. Are y'all interested in that? I would be happy to schedule a zoom call and kick start a Community Conversations call and/or series around research and scholarship opportunities for students! 

A little context- Community Conversations bubble up when a topic shows a lot of interest and enthusiasm. A great example is the AI in Medical Education series. If you want to check one out, join us on July 31 at 2 pm. These calls provide a space for open conversation. There is no formal presentation or agenda, just a chance for the community to come together and talk about a key issue-- to learn with and from one another. Historically, we've opened breakout rooms based on topics, but we can flex and iterate on the structure that works best for this group.

If this is of interest to y'all- let me know your availability here.  @Shawn Owens @Christopher Mazur @Rosa Hand @Carolyn Pointer @Brianna Conyers @Mabel Perez-Oquendo @Katie Harden

Hello Everyone,

I am new to AAMC, and UIC COM recently created the position that I currently hold to enhance research for medical students in general.  We have two sister campuses in Rockford and Peoria, IL that have similar roles for facilitating student research programs.  I am very interested in all of the points from this discussion so far and think it is a very important area due to the growing need and interest of research within our student body.  We do not currently have a database of research opportunities, however, we have various methods of disseminating information. We have our COM research opportunities webpage, COM Dean's newsletter, introduction to M1 students in the fall, the typical networking and word of mouth method, and also have a slack channel.  

I'm very open to learning more about how other institutions are handling things and attending any discussions on the subject.

Kind regards,
Daisy

At our medical school, we are planning to develop a comprehensive and searchable database to help our students identify research projects that connect with faculty mentors. This proposed tool will allow the students to search for projects using specific terms, departments, research types, or keywords, and set up alerts for new opportunities that match their criteria. The database will feature detailed project listings . By integrating data from our office of research services, we intend to ensure consistency and regular updates. On top of this we are want to ensure the security and privacy of all data.

We also use a searchable database with multiple parameters.  One struggle we have found with this is getting faculty to use it and to input their information.  I think it does require significant administrative input and oversight.  It is an essential tool for the mission of helping students engage in research, but the tool must be accompanied by the administrative support.  This could be part of the content of our group meeting, how much help is needed and how is it best managed.

I am so excited to see all of this input from so many schools.  Thank you.

Hello,

I'm a bit late to this discussion but very excited to be a part of it! Not too long ago I created www.PubLNX.com a website designed to connect medical students interested in participating in medical research with physicians and researchers looking for assistance with their projects. I am currently in talks with the administration at my home institution, Houston Methodist Hospital, with the hope of implementing it here and I would love to share it with all of you. 

PubLNX is easy, intuitive, and really quick to use. Physicians and researchers at your institution can make an account and in less than 1 minute make a post about any research work they would like assistance with. Opportunities can vary from funded laboratory positions to interesting cases encountered in clinical practice that can be published as case reports. Opportunities can be further designated as onsite or remote. After a new post is made, students are notified via email and can apply online. Once the agreed upon work has been completed, both parties can provide written feedback and a star review for the other party, which become a part of their profile helping to keep all parties accountable.

I initially built PubLNX to make research opportunities available to all students nationwide, but due to credentialing requirements I can very easily customize the site to the needs of your institution (the website can be limited to only your students and faculty along with other customizations you may need). PubLNX can also help to increase the number of opportunities you can offer your students by increasing engagement with clinical faculty that often have smaller research opportunities like case reports etc.

If you or anyone else is interested in learning more about PubLNX, I would love to talk more! Please feel free to reach out with any questions, comments, or feedback about the site. 

Best wishes

Hi all!  

How are you advising students about listing their research experiences on ERAS?  If a single project leads to multiple outputs (eg 2 presentations) do you tell them to list each presentation separately?  I am hearing some concerns that this might be perceived as padding the CV.

Thanks for any input!

Once the agreed upon work has been completed, both parties can provide written feedback and a star review for the other party, which become a part of their profile helping to keep all parties accountable.

I initially built PubLNX to make research opportunities available to all students nationwide, but due to credentialing requirements I can very easily customize the site to the needs of your institution (the website can be limited to only your students and faculty along with other customizations you may need). PubLNX can also help to increase the number of opportunities you can offer your students by increasing engagement with clinical faculty that often have smaller research opportunities like case reports etc.

If you or anyone else is interested in learning more about PubLNX, I would love to talk more! Please feel free to reach out with any questions, comments, or feedback about the site.

How are research opportunities provided to medical students? This could be bench or clinical.  Do you have a dashboard? a department who handles this? Other

Hello Rosa,

In my experience as a PI, it is quite common for a single project to yield multiple abstracts-meaning the hypothesis tested or the outcomes of interest are different (enough) to warrant separate posters or oral presentations.  (This does not preclude combining the data into one major journal publication). In practice, this means the titles of the presentations are different, as are the abstracts. Should that not be the case, then the student should only list the presentation once, and prioritize the national presentation over a regional or intramural presentation.  It would indeed come across to a physician-scientist as padding the CV. 

Best,

Kathy

Hi all!  

How are you advising students about listing their research experiences on ERAS?  If a single project leads to multiple outputs (eg 2 presentations) do you tell them to list each presentation separately?  I am hearing some concerns that this might be perceived as padding the CV.

Thanks for any input!

Rosa

Dear Dr. Hussain,

Since I am also at the TMC, I will be in touch with you regarding this great resource tool.  In addition, I'd love to work with you on opportunities for McGovern Medical Students.

Thank you for your post.

Sincerely,

Mary Horton

Hello,

I'm a bit late to this discussion but very excited to be a part of it! Not too long ago I created www.PubLNX.com a website designed to connect medical students interested in participating in medical research with physicians and researchers looking for assistance with their projects. I am currently in talks with the administration at my home institution, Houston Methodist Hospital, with the hope of implementing it here and I would love to share it with all of you. 

PubLNX is easy, intuitive, and really quick to use. Physicians and researchers at your institution can make an account and in less than 1 minute make a post about any research work they would like assistance with. Opportunities can vary from funded laboratory positions to interesting cases encountered in clinical practice that can be published as case reports. Opportunities can be further designated as onsite or remote. After a new post is made, students are notified via email and can apply online. Once the agreed upon work has been completed, both parties can provide written feedback and a star review for the other party, which become a part of their profile helping to keep all parties accountable.

I am not sure about others, but for this fall, there will be optional class on research, plus they have hired someone to coordinate opportunities and there was a group that did a internal survey to medical students on this (they will report their findings next week I believe).

Hi @Kaitlyn Leaf, thank you for proposing some times to meet!  Here is a doodle poll for anyone interested to share when they are available: https://doodle.com/group-poll/participate/dGWmlmJd. 

These times work best for me:

July 10 at 2pm ET

July 15 at 12pm

We are transitioning to Canvas and started a Canvas course to display research opportunities.  Students can search the opportunities on the course site and it is a step in the right direction, from manually updating a pdf of research opportunities to a website.

@Lori DeShetler- We didn't record yesterday's session but I want to provide a recap on this thread for everyone! 

We discussed how often to meet and a little about future topics. The consensus on cadence of meetings is every other month. This leads us to September! Please fill out this doodle poll with your availability. @Rosa Hand agreed to be our meeting's next host. The next meeting will focus more on topical planning- you can anticipate breakout rooms based on regions and brainstorming future topics and agendas. 

Another main point of discussion is how to collaborate and share information with one another! Encourage your colleagues to join us here in the virtual communities to keep the conversations going in between sessions. Previously we used Box as a hub for document sharing, but we no longer have access to that tool. While I am exploring other options, here is a contact list form that you can input your information and a view sheet so that you can see all the contact info. 

Some resources were shared during the call too. Check out this webinar that some folks found helpful on debunking the research arms race. And attached you will find a document that @Mary Rojas put together after convening a meeting around mentorship and research opportunities. 

I think that covers everything, so for now, stay tuned for more info and keep the conversation going in here!
