Can I conduct my own research as an undergrad in my field of choice (even if it's not STEM related)?
A:
Definitely! There are a ton of opportunities to get involved with research even in non-STEM fields. One popular program to secure a research position and funding is through the Sophomore and Junior Research Scholars program.
I participated as a Women in Science Program (WISP) intern, presenting a poster entitled “Visualizing machine learning models for predicting readmission after an acute myocardial infarction”.
Here at Dartmouth, students have access to the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC), a state-of-the-art hospital and medical facility located a fifteen-minute bus ride away from campus.
Since the winter term, I have been involved with many programs at the Tuck School of Business, such as TuckLab, Tuck Incubators, and Tuck professors’ research projects.
I knew I wanted to go to medical school early on, so when I was looking at potential colleges, the ability for undergraduates to become involved with research was high on my list of requirements.
