PURPOSE Medical education research is heavily based on social science research practices that are somewhat different from basic science research and require meeting rigorous social science research standards and processes. However, many faculty, fellow, and residents in medicine tend to learn informally and opportunistically through projects, which are rarely developed as successful medical education research scholarships. The program aims to develop interested SIU SOM members to be equipped with a basic understanding of medical education research to design and conduct a research project

A collaboration between neuroscience and engineering will explore a novel approach in reducing formation of plaques commonly found in those with Alzheimer’s. Kevin Hascup, PhD, of the Smith Alzheimer’s Center at SIU Medicine, and Chilman Bae, PhD, of Southern Illinois University Carbondale were awarded an SIU System Collaborative Grant to investigate how a cellular pathway called Piezo channels could be key in helping unlock better treatments for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. Piezo channels are located throughout the body and are like gates in our cells that open up when we feel

Accessibility and Accommodations Southern Illinois University (SIU) School of Medicine values the importance of a diverse workforce and is committed to fostering an inclusive and accessible environment that ensures access to its facilities, programs and services is available to all students, including students with disabilities as defined by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the ADA of 1990, and the ADA Amendments Act of 2008.
