Academic credit (1 credit per week "non-hands-on") will be awarded for satisfactory completion of a research project at the University of Minnesota Medical Center or one of our affiliate sites within the Department of Medicine. Year 3 and 4 medical students can take up to 12 weeks of research credit total throughout their 3rd and 4th year, although the preferred total amount of time is 8 weeks or less. If more than 8 weeks of credit are requested, both the advisor and the Director of Integrated Education - Clinical must approve.

The student must have a research mentor prearranged, submit a short (limited to several paragraphs in length) description of the research through the application; and must have signature of the mentor at least 6 weeks in advance of taking the course. No retroactive credit will be approved.
