Laboratory Research
The GI program also provides students with the opportunity to engage in laboratory research focused on gastrointestinal medicine. Under the guidance of faculty mentors, students can explore topics such as the molecular mechanisms of GI diseases, the development of new diagnostic tools, or the evaluation of novel treatment options.
Clinical Research
Clinical research opportunities allow students to contribute to the advancement of GI medicine through the analysis of patient data, clinical trials, and outcomes research. By participating in clinical research projects, students gain valuable insights into the practical application of research findings in real-world patient care.
Publication and Presentation Opportunities
Engaging in research at the University of Chicago’s GI program can lead to publication in reputable scientific journals or presentation at national conferences. These opportunities not only enhance students’ resumes but also provide them with a platform to share their findings and contribute to the broader scientific community.
