Which school has the most/best research?

 

[podsoon]

Hi,

This is my cousin's account. He told me about the CLEAR lab already but I wanted to know other school's lab. I am just using his account. Thanks

 

[dyk343]

Temple and Scholl come to mind when it comes to research. I believe most schools have some sort of research going on.

Others can correct or add to my comments

So your cousin had time to write a ******ed Scholl hate thread as his/her first post then turned the account over to you? How convenient.

How exactly does this post address the OP's question?

http://www.dmu.edu/research/publications_presentations/2009/ <- these are all projects from 2009, as they haven't updated the list for 2010 projects yet
http://www.dmu.edu/research/symposium/

DMU is really big on research and always has a number of projects going on at the same time. We have a faculty member that is solely devoted to research at the university. The Human Performance and Gait Analysis Lab (http://www.dmu.edu/clinic/human_performance_lab/) is an incredibly valuable resource for faculty and students. We also have the DMU Research Symposium held annually to showcase all of the research projects going on at the University in all programs. Hope this helps!

DMU has a ton of research opportunities. All of the faculty are very pro-research. I will never forget 1st year pod med when an instructor said "you are either a user of research or a creator of research."
If you ever have any ideas of a topic, faculty are more than interested in pursuing your idea. I am fortunate enough to be working on a project that will be a poster presentation at ACFAS this spring, and will more than likely turn into a publication. The opportunities are there at DMU, but you need to want to pursue them.

Awesome man! Congrats and good luck.

cool thanks a lot! I have looked at Scholl and loved their wound care masters research degree and also I like how Temple you can get a PhD from UPenn. But I am more looking for a master type research that will land me some great residencies.

How abut other schools? Like Ohio or Barry? If anyone at those schools can comment, and post a link that would be great! Thanks

c But I am more looking for a master type research that will land me some great residencies.

Awesome grades, a good work ethic and great personality will land you a great residency most of the time. Do the Masters because you're interested in it. It likely will not really make much of a difference in the residency hunt.

Barry has not been as strong on research in the past, so the new dean hired someone to run the new research program he is setting up. It should be good for the current 1st years and everyone after them. We do have a large poster presentation/research project that is required for the 3rd year students that we are finishing up right now. Besides that, it is up to you to take initiative to get involved. There are many professors that have many ideas and are willing to help.

DMU's dean just gave 2 lectures on Achilles Tendon injuries. Off the top of my head he cited at least 10 or so articles.

This isn't "research". This is teaching using evidence based medicine techniques, which is all the rage now.

Now if the Dean published all ten articles using statistically significant data to reach all his conclusions, then THAT'S research.

i should have gone more in depth about what i meant. I meant that DMU emphasizes the importance of research and the importance of evidence based medicine. Whereas some lecturer could have given the information, just made a blanket statement about sources at the end, this lecturer chose passages from different articles, to back up what he was saying. We are encouraged to read articles that are cited. By understanding the importance of past research conducted, it can help shape our attitudes towards the importance of contributing to the field, instead of just taking from it.

Very well said.

I like what Dyk343 said. Every school probably has research opportunities. It probably just depends on which students take advantage.
Doing a search for articles on PubMed will bring up articles/research the school has been affiliated with.
I'm a 2014 student at NYCPM, so I can only speak for us. That being said, I've managed to publish research in Clinical Anatomy with the Anatomy professors recently, and several of my friends/colleagues are working on papers/projects with one of the Neuroscience professors.
It's there if you want it. Finding the time? That's the difficult part.

Temple has a million dollar research lab just to study gait, and students have lots of opportunities to get in on that. Also, TUSPM offers a joint PhD, but you have to do it through Drexel or another neighboring university. But still, there are some pretty good opportunities here.

Here's the link to CLEAR at Scholl http://www.rosalindfranklin.edu/dnn/SchollCollegeofPodiatricMedicine/Clear/tabid/504/Default.aspx

Tons of research here at Scholl. Dr. Wrobel and Dr. Wu publish a lot with of diabetic foot research. Dr. Najafi is one of the leading pioneers behind body worn sensor technology. His sensors can study gait and movement without the need for huge equipment and, in the future, could easily be used at a clinicians office instead of having to send the patient to a gait lab. More info on the CLEAR gait lab here http://www.rosalindfranklin.edu/dnn...Medicine/Clear/GaitLab/tabid/505/Default.aspx

We also have a DPM/Phd program.

We also have a Center for stem cell and regenerative medicine http://www.rosalindfranklin.edu/research/ResearchCenters/CSCRM/tabid/2439/Default.aspx who has a DPM/Phd student currently working with them.

As others have said, there are plenty of opportunities for doing research. The problem is finding the time.
