The Selective Project
The Selective is a 2 month independent project completed in the 4th year. It is a capstone experience in which students integrate learning from the first three years of medical school and apply it to a topic of ongoing professional interest. The project can be health intervention, education or research. The majority of students do some type of clinical research, although there is a wide range of topics and methods. Some students have written novels or children’s stories, plays, puppet shows, and completed documentary films on health related topics. Many students (20%) do community Selectives, working with both a community preceptor and a university preceptor. These projects include population health research, health education and the development of new programs. Selectives projects are an important way for community agencies to work with medical students and faculty to improve the health of people in their communities.
