TEAM is the core component of the M-TRAM program, where students work in small groups to address real-world challenges in translational medicine. Throughout the year, students apply principles of translational medicine across early translation, clinical investigation, and medical adoption and commercialization, learning how to move from bench to bedside and beyond. It is a collaborative, project-based learning experience where students engage in research, clinical trial design, and business development, with a focus on the integration of these areas to solve unmet needs in healthcare. Project ideas can be student initiated, suggested by the faculty advisors, or arise from experiential learning (Industry and Clinical), but must be approved, supported and monitored by the M-TRAM leadership committee. Upon completion of the project each quarter, students will present a group oral presentation of their final results . In addition to the quarterly presentations, student teams will present a poster for the annual TRAM symposium. Prerequisite: Application and acceptance to the MTRAM program.
