Student Scientific Research Club (SSRC)

SSRC works as a part of Istanbul School of Medicine and is a spot where students interested in research gather and share their experiences.

It has been founded in 1984 as a part of the Institute for Experimental Research in Medicine (DETAE) and again in 1984 it has organized the first IMSSC.

Our members attend the educational seminars of our faculty professors organized by the club. With the experiences SSRC provides, by attending the seminars and involving in projects, our members have a chance to graduate as better physicians and especially better researchers. Each year, the club offers a basic training in how research should be conducted, after which the students can work to accept or reject pre-written hypotheses. After mastering the basics of scientific methodology, students can form or join smaller groups that work on specific fields of interest. At the beginning of each academic year, after going through the aforementioned basic training, new members also join the specific interest groups referred to above, in which they receive the preliminary information from the head of the group. Thus, the students find a chance to learn very much very fast and partake in a research that is already in progress.

SSRC aims to:

• Host didactic events, seminars for newcomers

• To have young researchers gain experience before graduation

• To follow the latest developments in medicine and if possible, add more to them

• Organize IMSSC’s, where studies conducted during the year can be presented and evaluated internationally
