Semper et ubique

I think I already mentioned it: I‘m going into research. Yeah, you didn’t misread, I‘ll do some research that‘ll conclude into a scientific result.

I am not talking about a doctorate, my curriculum wants me to go into research for four weeks (or even more if you like to spend your holiday in the lab). The aim is to get us in contact with research early on not only in order to let us publish better dissertations later on. The task is clear: Look for a study group that works on a topic you‘re interested in and elaborate a subtopic that leads you to a conclusion that you may publish at a medical convention. Again, you didn’t misread. The university will hold a convention where every student will speak for ten minutes about what he and his study group worked out. Plus, the four students with the best speeches will receive 50€.

Whoa, this‘ll be so awesome. I can’t wait to start with research! One step at a time. First of all, I need to find a study group and a topic. Since I want start my post-study career at the university hospital it’s advisable to do every internship here and on the same subject so the people will get to know me and I will become somewhat a part of the huge team. This is why it would be great if I would start right away with this research internship on the same subject I‘ll somewhen become a consultant. Hard task, I am still not sure what do become after studies.

Anyway, I think oncology will be a big deal, so I‘ll look out for study groups on this subject – and keep you up to date!
