Scholarly Project

MCW medical students are required to complete a Scholarly Project. Students often choose to do the Scholarly Project within their Scholarly Concentration course enrollment, though it is not required. Scholarly Projects represent wide-ranging interests in the basic, clinical and social sciences, curricular innovations and teaching, quality improvement initiatives, and community engaged projects to address health disparities in Milwaukee and abroad.
