Research

The ICMR initiated the Short Term Studentship Program in 1979 in order to promote interest and aptitude for research among medical undergraduates. The main objective of this program is to provide an opportunity to undergraduate medical students to familiarize themselves with research methodology and techniques by being associated for a short duration with their seniors on ongoing research program or by undertaking independent projects. It was expected that this may serve as an incentive for them to take up research as a career in the future. During the last 37 years, medical undergraduate students of various medical colleges in the country have shown keen interest in ICMR Short Term Studentship (STS) program.
