Opportunities for Students

Medical Students

Pediatrics faculty serve as mentors to medical students enrolled in Brody School of Medicine’s distinction tracks and students participating in other structured research experiences, such as the Summer Scholars Research Program and research electives in the M3/M4 years. Additional opportunities for collaboration are available during the foundational curriculum and throughout the clinical years. Recent medical student-led projects have appeared in Clinical Pediatrics, Hospital Pediatrics, Journal of Perinatology, and American Journal of Medical Quality, among other journals.

Residents and Fellows

We encourage resident and fellow participating on investigator-initiated studies throughout the department. The Pediatric Research Team also supports residents and fellows interested in developing their own projects during their tenure at ECU. Specific research requirements can be found on the program websites:

Graduate student-led projects have been published in journals including the Journal of Rural Health, Journal of School Health, and Population Health Management, among others.
