GENERAL INFORMATION (RESEARCH)

There are a number of reasons why you may want to consider conducting research during your undergraduate career. The benefits for undergraduates who get involved in research are many. They include:
  • hands-on experience exploring concepts learned in the classroom;
  • a first-hand exploration into how hypothesis-driven lines of thought are examined;
  • practice engaging in critical thinking, numeracy, discipline-based literacy;
  • an opportunity to engage in both independent and team-based, collaboratie efforts which are both invaluable skills for many careers;
  • an opportunity to decide if you like research and might want to pursue a research-related career in the future;
  • additional experience that professional schools regard favorably since it can allow for a unique insight into health-related curriculum and literature;
  •  a chance to work more closely with and provide mentorship from faculty
