The 26th Annual Medical Student Scholarship Forum was held July 31, 2023 at ECHI at ECU, celebrating the scholarly work of the Summer Scholars Research and Distinction Track Programs.
The Summer Scholars Research Program began in 1997 to address the lack of research training in medical education. Since then, participation has rapidly grown with over 530 students participating.
The Brody School of Medicine offers four Distinction Track programs related to the core missions of the school: Health System Transformation and Leadership, Research, Medical Education and Teaching, and Service-Learning. The programs began in 2015 to provide students the opportunity to independently pursue an area of interest that reflects the core values that led them to select a medical career. Since then, 251 students have been accepted into the distinction track programs and 183 students have completed all program requirements to graduate with distinction.
