TUSOM students have plenty of opportunities available for getting involved in research. The most important step in the process is to connect with a faculty mentor. This page is designed to help you do that! Generally speaking, the best time to focus on a research project is during the summer between your T1 & T2 year, since you have plenty of time to do so. However, you can get involved with research at any time during your medical education.
You may want to familiarize yourself with common ETHICAL ISSUES in research before starting any project.
If you are a T1, and would like to get involved in summer research IN NEW ORLEANS, please check out these funded opportunities:
If you are a T1, and would like to get involved in summer research ELSEWHERE, please see "Summer Opportunities" on this page.
If you are a T2 or above, and would like to get involved in research, please see "Basic/Bench Research," "Clinical/Translational Research," "Population/Public Health Research," or "Call for Student Researchers" on this page.
Students interested in basic/bench research should contact Dr. Diane Blake for more information.
More information on research conducted in these areas can be found here.
Student must watch the following video prior to seeking a clinical/translational research opportunity
Students interested in clinical/translational research should consult the list of recommended faculty mentors below. Please contact the faculty member in charge of the project you are interested in directly. Contact Dr. Vivian Fonseca for more information.

Fellows may work with any Stanford faculty members who are affiliated with the new Pandemic Preparedness Hub. Relevant disciplines may include epidemiology, community health, ecology, immunology, clinical-translational science, genetics, biomedical data sciences and health policy. Trainees who have trained in other disciplines and would like to transition their career to focus on infectious diseases are encouraged to apply and should demonstrate their commitment to this path. Each fellow will create a professional development plan with a professional mentorship team that includes their scientific mentor and senior faculty in the Pandemic Preparedness Hub. Faculty and fellows will convene regularly for interactive seminars to share their work and identify opportunities for synergies across disciplines. In addition to salary and benefits, each fellow will research a research fund to utilize for pursuit of their own ideas Benefits · Competitive salary and benefits for two years · A research budget for each fellow for two years · Senior faculty mentorship, professional development, and networking support · A diverse community of scholars with common professional interests and value Requirements · M.D. within 3 years of completion of clinical training or Ph.D. within 3 years of graduation as of September 1, 2022 Application To apply, please submit a 500 – 1000 word personal statement that describes your experience, interests, and goals for a fellowship with the Pandemic Preparedness Hub via our online form.

Good Morning and Peace Be Upon You,
It is with great enthusiasm that we introduce the inaugural American Muslim Medical Student conference. This conference will allow medical students to present their research on a national scale; presenting a rare opportunity for Muslim medical students to develop both spiritually and professionally. Participants will be able to gain insight into the many intersections and interwoven aspects of faith and healing and explore many previously taboo topics and ideas. We hope you share this opportunity with the students at your institution.
Many prominent Muslim physicians have confirmed their attendance including Dr. Rania Awaad, Dr. Abdulrahmn El-Sayed, Dr. Qaali Hussien and many more! Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to network with fellow medical students and ensure the enrichment of science and faith together.
Abstracts for the research symposium will be accepted on a rolling basis. The deadline for filling out the abstract submission and registration form is July 12, 2022.
All questions regarding the conference and research symposium should be directed to ammsa.national@gmail.com.

Peace and Mercy,
