Research

ICOM faculty and students pursue innovative research in basic science, medical education, osteopathic principles and practice, and underserved and rural medicine.

What does Research involve?

Research at ICOM is a voluntary, approachable, goal-oriented collection of activities that exercise your critical thinking, communication, and teamwork skills. Some may see research as an overwhelming deep dive, but dipping your toes into the water by incorporating even small research practices and skills will synergize your academic and professional experiences. Immersing yourself in research will take you to greater depths of understanding and can be transformational for your career. Starting, whether it’s something small or large, can be the hardest part.

Get Involved! There are many ways to get involved in research and scholarly activities at ICOM, even if you’re not doing research yourself. Some options include:

• Student-led journal club

• Impact Research Seminar Series

• ICOM Research Conference

Research and scholarly activity opportunities at ICOM or with collaborative partners include: basic science; clinical; community-based; medical education; survey development and implementation; anatomical variation; osteopathic principles and practice; and literature reviews. 

Where to do Research?

• On campus: the Research Lab, the Medical Library, OPP Lab, using the Research Computer.
• As a collaboration: with ICOM, clinical or academic colleagues. Contact the Research Committee for more information.
