Sumario:Periods of academic transition are challenging and require medical students to adjust to new environments and expectations. Commonly cited areas of struggle include integrating into the interprofessional health care team, communication, organization and time management, and self-regulated learning. Consciously designing opportunities early in the preclinical curriculum to help students gradually build these competencies can be achieved within existing research training programs or projects. This perspective article reflects on how the medical student research training program at the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine supports student growth in these areas beginning in the first year, so that students can directly apply these skills as they progress to the clinical years and beyond.
