Student Research Opportunities

Medical students at the University of Illinois College of Medicine Rockford have many opportunities to participate in basic, clinical or community-based research. The Office of Research mentors and connects students to researchers in the surrounding communities and provides assistance with study design, Institutional Review Board (IRB) requirements and statistical analysis.

The Office of Research offers several programs specifically targeting students interested in research:

Students and faculty can reach out directly to the Office of Research Team to ask any question that may require a quick answer through the “Ask the Office of Research Team” form. In this way, students and faculty are not limited to meeting in-person on certain dates and times to get help.

If more in-depth help is needed, please email Daliah Brown and Jessica Gilles to schedule a meeting with an Office of Research team member.
