Practice of Medicine (POM) Requirements - MS IV
GHSC students must choose a project that is related to their track of study in some way. This does not preclude students from participating in other research or scholarly work in the third and/or fourth year; however, all schoarly concentration students must submit a scholarly project related to their track area.
Many students take this opportunity to pursue academic work related to an area of current/future interest. Students have the option to expand upon a focus area initiated earlier in their medical education, for instance, work that students may have started during their summer internships between the first and second year.
