Research Volunteer Opportunities (Medical Students)
The Department of Dermatology offers opportunities for medical students to engage in dermatology research projects. Students will work directly with our faculty PI's to support their research initiative needs. This is a unique opportunity to gain valuable experience, connections and possibly publications within the dermatology field.
Please see below for a list of our current opportunities. If you are interested in any opportunities, please fill out our OHSU Dermatology Research Volunteer Form.
Current opportunities
Description:
We are looking for an additional (on-site) student to help with a large melanoma database of appx 1400 patients where we are tracking recurrence rates of the melanoma that we operated on. This volunteer will work with another medical student in RedCap.
Faculty PI: Anna Bar, M.D.
Description:
We have developed a culture within our group for medical students to be integrated in our research activities. Students are assigned to senior medical students to help in projects associated with ulcerative skin conditions or skin inflammation. After this initial year of learning, medical students will have the opportunity to develop a scholarly project which is required for their graduation. Learn more about our PG program by visiting our Pyoderma Gangrenosum (PG) page.
Additional:
- We do not focus our research efforts on case reports
- We have monthly meetings for about 30 minutes to discuss challenges and learn about other projects from your peers
Faculty PI: Alex Ortega Loayza, M.D., M.C.R.
