The Primary Care Clinical Research
program, administered by the Department of Family Medicine, is designed to
provide select osteopathic medical students with the research training,
experience, and mentoring necessary to pursue a career in clinical research or
academic medicine.
The program offers research practica and mentoring in
projects undertaken by many of the family medicine faculty, plus other
collaborating investigators within the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine,
the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, and the School of Public
Health.
At entry to medical school and throughout the medical curriculum,
each student will establish collaborative research relationships with faculty
members within the Department of Family medicine and other departments of the
health science center. These relationships will enable the student to become
part of research teams working on various projects relative to family medicine,
primary care, and osteopathic medicine.
As part of the program, students will
complete the requirements for the Master of Science in the Graduate School of
Biomedical Sciences. This program is offered to provide students with clinical
research training pertinent to family medicine and other issues involving
primary care and osteopathic medicine. This degree affords students an
opportunity to acquire the didactic training needed to complement their research
practica.
The formal presentations and courses in the program are designed to
give the student a knowledge base in clinical research design; evidence-based
medicine; biostatistics and epidemiology, policies, procedures and compliance
issues relevant to human subjects research and responsible conduct of research;
scientific communications and writing; and educational methodologies for
becoming an effective instructor.
