WHAT IS THE III SCHOLARSHIP REQUIREMENT? Independent Investigative Inquiry (III) Select a subject of interest to explore over the summer between the first and second year Investigate the subject, under the guidance of a Faculty Mentor Report on your findings in the fall of second year MD Degree requirement Must be completed prior to the start of third year (before starting clerkships)

WHY IS SCHOLARSHIP REQUIRED? You are building a foundation of medical knowledge that will last throughout your career Many parts of that foundation will change throughout your career An essential skill is to be able to ask scientific questions and find the answers to those questions as medicine evolves Why scholarship requirement – a large part of what you learn in med school won’t be accurate 10-20 years from now. We have to be able to keep up, and to do so, we need to be able to ask the right questions to be able to find the right answers and continue learning as medicine evolves. This will also add context to your future clinical practice – in becoming an exper in thh intergenerational activities – perceived improvement in health for elderly

WHAT IS SCHOLARSHIP? Scholarship is work that moves a field forward by asking a question and seeking the answer Discovery: research in which new discoveries are made through original investigation. Integration: Work that synthesizes and gives meaning and perspective to isolated facts. Application: Work that examines how knowledge can be effectively applied to consequential problems. Work that moves a field forward by asking questions and finding (or moving closer to) answers Scholarship comes in multiple forms This is a scholarship (and not a research) requirement, which means you have multiple avenues to fulfill your III Work in a lab Mine data charts Survey or interview patients Analyze a clinical trial Read extensively about a topic and synthesize the information into a literature review Create and assess a community intervention in WWAMI or on the other side of the world

This may not be used for travel outside the WWAMI region. More information is on our Blog site for how to find a project, and what to look for in a mentor. Your Faculty Mentor is the most important part of this experience.
