"The Radiology Research Elective is for the BU Medical student to gain experience with the initiation and completion of a clinical and/or basic science research project.  After completion of this elective, the student will gain an understanding of the process of research and the completion of these projects. The student will join a supervising Radiology faculty mentor for a research project that is organized prior to the start of the elective and approved by the elective subcommittee of the medical school. The student will work as a member of the team with the principal investigator and/or other junior investigators. The student will spend his/her time performing some or all of the study research, study development, IRB submission, study planning and data collection, data analysis, and study write up. A thorough written summary of the student’s progress and/or accomplishments will also be performed. The student will also attend various conferences focused on the findings of the various radiologic cases. Emphasis is placed on developing skill in performance of research techniques, with particular focus on development of research ideas, IRB creation and submission, data collection and analysis, and manuscript creation. Students are expected to participate in all research activities Monday through Friday. "
