Medical student-mentor teams in research: Adel Hassan and Dr. Nandan Mondal share their experience with SOAR
In this new series of blog posts, From the Labs sat with medical students and their mentors in research. In the first video, you will meet Adel Hassan and his mentor Dr. Nandan Mondal, assistant professor in the Michael E. DeBakey Department of Surgery, and learn how the SOAR program brought them together to conduct basic science research and how the experience is shaping their careers.
The Office of Student Opportunities for Advancement in Research (SOAR) is dedicated to educating and supporting BCM medical students in pursuing research opportunities.
For instance:
- The SOAR database helps faculty and students find matching research projects.
- SOAR provides information on how to complete the NICER attestation form, participate in scientific and medical conferences and learn from the Student Research Educational Resources.
- SOAR Travel Awards are available to support student research presentations at scientific and medical conferences.
Faculty members interested in offering research opportunities to medical students are encouraged to submit their research projects to the SOAR database. Learn how, here.
Students interested in acquiring research experience can search the SOAR database to find projects of interest, here.
