Medical School Research Courses
The Institute for Translational Sciences (ITS) offers several research opportunities within the School of Medicine curriculum, all titled "Multidisciplinary Translational Research”. Improving human health relies on translating scientific discoveries into practical applications. The Institute for Translational Sciences (ITS) and its collaborators are creating an environment for rapid translation of significant discoveries in basic research into diagnosis, treatment and prevention of common diseases and are working to facilitate Y1 (bench to bedside) as well as T2-T4 research (adoption of best practices, outcomes, community research). The ITS partners with a variety of multidisciplinary translational teams. These teams of investigators include diverse disciplines and departments who conduct collaborative research with a focus on translation. The ITS is home to UTMB’s Clinical Research Center (CRC), the NASA funded CRC Satellite Flight Analog Research Unit as well as a variety of projects on novel methods and pilot research.
Each research-centered experience is with an established investigator, as a full-time member of a UTMB investigative team, during a 4-week period or longer. Provisions for combining redundant course requirements are considered for students enrolled in both the research elective course (ITSU 4403) and the basic science selective course (ITSU 4402). Students may also enroll in a research elective course during the Medical Student Summer Research Program (MSSRP, ITSU 1050).
Each course is designed for individuals considering an academic career in a clinical department or those with an interest in translational research, basic research that has potential for translation to clinical care or public health, or clinical research conducted at the ITS Clinical Research Center.
