Medical Student Research Focus

Creating opportunities for the next generation of healthcare professionals to participate in research.

  • Clinical Research: Many medical students choose to do a research project in the clinical specialty or specialties they plan to pursue in residency.
  • Performance Improvement in Healthcare: The Columbia-Bassett program includes training and certification in performance improvement methodologies, thought to be critical to improving the safety and efficiency of US healthcare systems. Students can explore the impact of performance improvement methodologies in medical education and on healthcare delivery.
  • Rural & Agricultural Healthcare Access & Delivery: Bassett Healthcare Network is one of the largest rural healthcare networks in the US with the largest network of rural School-Based Health Centers. Furthermore, the Northeast Center for Occupational Health and Safety is centered at NYCAMH. This makes Bassett an ideal place to study rural and agricultural healthcare delivery.
  • Medical Education: Students consider optimization of medical education and study Columbia-Bassett’s innovative curricula, primarily the longitudinal integrated major clinical year and the Systems, Leadership, Integration, & Management (SLIM) curriculum focused on health systems and performance improvement.
