Medical Student Education Research Grants (MSERG)

Canada is a world leader in medical education scholarship, with achievements including problem-based learning (PBL), multiple mini-interviews (MMIs), and the first national licensure objective structured clinical examination (OSCE). Medical students are in a unique position to contribute to the medical education literature. Our personal experiences with the training curricula can shed light on what works and what doesn't, generating ideas and stimulating new research questions.

The Ontario Medical Students Association (OMSA) is excited to announce the sixth annual Medical Student Education Research Grant (MSERG) Call for Applications in partnership with the Associated Medical Services (AMS), OMA Insurance, the CMA, and MD Financial Management.

The 2020 MSERG will provide grants valued at $5,000 each to fund nine projects designed by Ontario medical students. This will enable students to conduct research projects in medical education. Three of these nine awards will be granted in the Open Stream and six of these nine awards will be granted in the Compassionate Care Steam. Of the nine MSERG awards, at least one award will go to a student project from each of the six Ontario medical schools, provided that they meet the eligibility criteria.

The deadline to apply is April 13th, 2020.
