Scholarly Concentrations

Scholarly Concentrations are structured programs of study that promote in-depth learning and scholarship, providing all medical students with faculty-mentored scholarly experiences in areas of individual interest combined with structured coursework to support this scholarship. This component of the MD curriculum develops critical thinking, skills in evaluation of new data, and hands-on experience with the methods by which new scholarly information is generated, goals that are closely aligned with SCCTER and will thus be part of the Center’s effort focused on medical students.
