Do I need to be in the CTR pathway in order to engage in research during medical school?
Absolutely not! UWSOM has an amazing variety of research opportunities both in Seattle and throughout the entire WWAMI region. While we think that the CTR pathway is a great choice for students who want to learn about clinical and translational research within a pathway structure, there are ample opportunities for students to engage in research, such as completing a Scholarship of Discovery III project or reaching out to individual departments or investigators.
