The University of New England has the state’s only medical school. Alignment with UNE is an important component in placing the IoM in a position to meet its mission to engage UMaine in efforts to positively impact the state’s healthcare and research needs. The IoM has been working with Dr. Houseknecht and others in the Dean’s office toward implementation of a program allowing medical students to engage in summer research clerkships with faculty at UMaine. It is hoped that having medical students on campus will foster collaboration with faculty from UNE. Furthermore, through the influence of medical students, faculty might see benefits in aligning with physician scientists from one or more of the hospital systems engaged with the IoM, perhaps strengthening NIH applications.
