Medical Assistant Accredited Schools

Research in medicine is not only laboratory work. It is about improving practice, retrieving information, critically analyzing literature, and the never-ending search for evidence on the best diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Research in medicine is lifelong learning, and a strong research project will strengthen your residency application.

During the Pre-Clinical Sciences at WUHS, you will learn and practice research methods thoroughly. You will write a hypothesis, design a research project, collect and evaluate data, and effectively communicate your findings. This foundation will help you think scientifically and critically throughout your professional career.

During clinical rotations, you will have the opportunity to participate in research projects and present clinical and scientific information clearly and cogently, both orally and in writing, to colleagues and other health professionals. You will formally document your engagement in research activity in your graduation paper, which can focus on basic, clinical, or applied medical science. This research can take various forms, including experimental research, clinical trials, epidemiological studies, observational research, or critical interpretations of scientific literature based on evidence-based medicine principles.

At WUHS (Belize), one of the USA-accredited medical schools in the caribbean, our students will:

• Get essential and critical knowledge in medicine.
• Get the skills and abilities to implement that knowledge.
