Medical Student Research

Hands On Learning

As an undergraduate medical student, you’ll be introduced to research practices early on in your training. We are proud to provide medical undergraduates the opportunity to work closely with a urology preceptor to pursue a research project in the field.
 
We participate in the Research in Medicine (RIM) program through Dalhousie and welcome any interested students.
 
The following faculty are RIM mentors and are currently accepting students:

Dr. Ricardo Rendon
Dr. Jesse Ory
Dr. Gabriela Ilie
Dr. Ross Mason
Dr. Daniel Keefe


If you have questions about the RIM program, please feel free to contact the RIM coordinator at rim@dal.ca or our Research Manager at urologyresearch@nshealth.ca. 

A Gift of Knowledge

The R. P. Bell Award is a result of a generous donation by Donald and Heather Johnston. The scholarship is awarded to an undergraduate medical student to work with a urology faculty member on a summer research project.
