Background

Newly established in 2020, the Medical Student Addiction Research (MedStAR) Program educates and trains medical students between their first and second year of medical school to conduct a mentored research project regarding substance use disorders.

This program facilitates longitudinal research and clinical mentorship as well as opportunities to conduct and disseminate research findings by attending national conferences and publishing in peer-reviewed medical journals.
