"This is essentially a fair for medical students to study new treatments, new diagnostic methods, and to push the envelope of biomedical science," said Dr. John Vanchiere Co-Director for the LSU Health Shreveport School of Medicine Medical Student Research Program (MSRP).
This program allows our medical students to spend 10-12 hours a week for 5 weeks during the summer to work closely with a faculty mentor on a research project where they learn how professional research is conducted and work towards their way to getting published, all the while building a highly competitive residency resume.
Congratulations to our 4 students who received an award for the poster presentation competition that happened this morning and a special thanks to all faculty members who dedicated their time to our students' research education as well.
