Faculty and Student Research
Research at AUA is built on a simple belief: the most meaningful medical research happens when students are actively involved in discovery and not just learning about it in the classroom.
Through AUA’s evolving research initiatives and our recently expanded research infrastructure, students have increasing opportunities to participate in high-impact scholarly work alongside faculty mentors. As part of this commitment, AUA faculty research is designed to actively include AUA students as contributors, helping students develop academic confidence, research literacy, and a strong foundation for residency and professional practice.
AUA’s new Research Center supports this mission by enabling more structured student participation, mentorship, and research output across key areas of public health, clinical education, and medical science.
Below, you’ll find featured publications and research spotlights highlighting work completed by AUA faculty and students. This page will continue to grow as new studies are published and new student research milestones are reached.
