How to Get Involved  

- Visit the RVU Integrify. Here you'll be able to find resources for how to get involved in research, search for recruiting projects, and find other research support.

- Reach out to your network in the healthcare field and ask them if they are currently working on research and/or are aware if any of the people in their network are doing research, and would appreciate the help of a medical student. Reach out to your mentors and follow the directions above.

- Medical students in the military are highly encouraged to complete research because the military branches follow a point system that grants points for research. You can reach out to Dr. Gubler or Tamara Campbell.

- Reach out to the class above you because many times students are working on research and hope that other students continue with their projects, so they are happy to pass it along.

- Apply to the Physician Scientist Track. We recommend that students speak to their Peer Mentors and/or various students who have participated in tracks and electives to gain more information about the time commitment and the benefits of participating in a track before deciding to apply or join. Dr. Brooks is the director in Utah and Dr. Ryzner is the director in Colorado. 

-The  Research MyVista Page is a great place to find all things research at RVU. You can find forms and information on what different types of research you could get involved with at RVU.
