TCOM Research

Students at TCOM have many educational opportunities for exposure to research in the biomedical sciences, patient-oriented clinical studies, and health services and policy settings. The most intensive research experiences involve formal dual-degree programs in conjunction with the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences or the School of Public Health. These may include doctoral or masters level degree programs in a variety of disciplines. The college offers an Honors Research Practicum for select students who wish to conduct a research project under the direct supervision of the faculty during semesters 3 and 4. Other research opportunities involve research rotations and experiences sponsored by extramural funding agencies, including potentially both on- and off-campus training activities. Students may also pursue elective rotations involving research projects or simply gain research experience by establishing relationships with faculty mentors in their personal areas of interest.
