STaR (Student Trauma and Resuscitation Research Program)

Grady Memorial Hospital evaluates more than 9,000 trauma patients annually. As one of the highest volume trauma centers in the country, Grady, Emory, and Morehouse University School of Medicine have a commitment to improving trauma care and educating future physicians. This is accomplished by providing exceptional care and advancing the body of research surrounding the care of this patient population. As such, a program dedicated to trauma research and medical student development would help accomplish these goals.

The aim of the Student Trauma and Resuscitation (STaR) Research Program is to provide interested medical students the opportunity to participate in ongoing trauma research, nurture their academic development, and provide them the tools to successfully bring a research project to completion.

Program:

Students will be given mentor for supports through research project
Student will be awarded a $2000 stipend for the duration of the program contingent on their satisfactory completion
Students will present their research at the end of the program during the research symposium
The objective is for all students to formulate their project into an abstract, present at a national meeting and turn their project into a manuscript
End of program symposium will be in the beginning of August
