RESEARCH and scholarly activity

Research and scholarly activity

At CHSU, we believe research and scholarly activity is important to the development of both our future doctors and our faculty, which is comprised of physicians, scientists, and other healthcare professionals. We are proud to showcase some of the completed and on-going research of our CHSU students and faculty members.

Just weeks into their first year, CHSU medical students start early service-learning projects while embedded in Central Valley health centers. Student doctors collaborate with faculty, preceptor physicians, other health care providers, and scientists to conduct research to benefit their partner health care center. Students also have the opportunity to potentially publish their research in peer-reviewed journals and present at conferences.

CHSU Library Research Toolkit

The CHSU Library Research Toolkit is a quick start guide to conducting, writing, publishing, and presenting your research. The research toolkit is designed for you to either search for a specific topic or go through modules on researching, writing, publishing, and presenting. We recommend searching by the broader concept such as “biostatistics” versus “t-test.”
