| | | | | Given the multitude of options, it can be difficult for students to choose a career path. Some days, I dream of being a clinician, and others, a social worker. At times, I think being an attorney or an economics researcher would be stimulating. Regardless of the actual path, certain goals are clear in my mind – I’d like to help people establish the baseline of a happy, healthy life in an affirming and sustainable manner. For that reason, ... | | | | Read More | | |

| | | | Often novel insights emerge only when you juxtapose individuals with deep but disparate expertise around a common goal. The Emory School of Medicine (SOM) Imagine, Innovate and Impact (I3) Awards accentuate the theme of innovation, complementing existing WHSC supported Synergy awards, and fall into two categories in this initial round: (1) those focused on transformational research ideas (the I3 Wow! Research awards), and (2) those focused on novel ideas in medical education (the I3 Education awards). | | | | Read More | | |

| | | | Some communities can become involved in health research fairly easily. For others, it's far more challenging because of a variety of factors that can include education level, geography, the nature of a particular illness, age, gender or race. As a result, researchers must seek ways to more effectively engage these populations in research that can help address their particular healthcare concerns. | | | | Read More | | |
