The M4 Research Elective allows fourth-year medical students to undertake 4, 8, or 12 weeks of research for credit after approval of their application by the review committee. While many students will choose to work with BU faculty mentors, students may participate in research with non-BU faculty at other institutions. Students work as part of a team to build research skills, including study development, data collection, statistical analysis, and preparing publications. At the end of the Elective, each student submits a project summary and is evaluated by their research mentor. Students may use the time to continue research projects started earlier in their training.
