Research in Medicine Podcast Series

The Research in Medicine Podcast Series (RIMPS) showcases the exceptional clinician-scientists in our schools so that medical students may gain more insight into how research can be incorporated into their future careers.

Podcasts offer an effective medium for information exchange in our increasingly digital lifestyles. They can be easily inserted into the busy lives of medical students who already use digital media for learning, relaxation, and keeping up-to-date.

As such, the RIMPS offer a unique format for exposing CFMS’ members to the variety of ways in which research can manifest within a clinical career. We hope to inspire and foster in medical students a curiosity and appreciation for research in medicine.
