Research Lecture Series Collaboration
The Research Lecture Series is a new educational initiative designed to give medical students a practical foundation in clinical research skills early in their training. Led by Dr. Moaven and Dr. Sullivan, the series will provide structured, step-by-step guidance on the research process. The series covers topics ranging from forming a research question to presenting results. Sessions are intended to be approachable for first- and second-year students with limited prior experience, while still offering depth and practical strategies that will benefit students preparing for abstracts, manuscripts, and future residency applications. By combining lectures, interactive workshops, and recorded materials for later access, the series will serve as a sustainable and reusable resource within the Medical Student Research Council’s mission to broaden research education at LSUHSC.
Planned topics:
- Developing a research question
- Literature review and reference software
- Understanding clinical trials in oncology
- IRB writing
- Statistics/biostatistics workshops
- Abstract/paper/manuscript writing
- Poster, QuickShot, and oral presentations
Future Access: Recordings and slides will be posted here so students can revisit material.
Format: In-person/Zoom hybrid (with recordings made available to students).
