Medical research is integral to medicine and progress, forming the backbone of understanding pathology, diagnosis, and treatments. Research also plays a crucial role in career progression and success. Therefore, we aim to foster academic research within the student community via three ‘E’s: Educate, Establish, and Engage.
Educate
We feature sessions that cover relevant topics in research and offer workshops on research techniques and the publication process. Specifically, sessions on “What is an audit?” and “How do I write a systematic review?” will provide students with the fundamental knowledge and skills required in conducting research. In addition, we offer guidance for post-grad applications like the ‘Academic Foundation Program’ which incorporates research into foundation training for junior doctors.
Establish
We intend to provide mentorship for students to establish networking opportunities and learn from academics and peers in the research field.
Engage
We introduce, facilitate and promote internal (e.g. UCLan Undergraduate Research Internship Program (UURIP) and external research opportunities. Notably, we intend to offer avenues for research engagement as part of our society's vision.
Our mission is to inspire and prepare a network of passionate students that contribute to ground-breaking research in their educational and professional careers at UCLan and beyond.
Every year our Student Groups elect a new team of students to take their group into the new academic year. Being on a committee is a great way to become more involved with the community at UCLan, meet new friends and develop new and existing skills for your CV. Anyone can be on a committee, as long as you are a member of your Student Group. Students that are elected onto a committee through this election will start their role on 1st August 2024 until 31st July 2025. Could you be the next leader of your Student Group? Please note this is the final opportunity to become a Student Group committee member for this academic year.
