The authors surveyed Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine medical students to assess their language proficiencies with two goals in mind: (1) to develop medical school curriculum that could leverage their language proficiencies; and (2) to encourage student placement within diverse communities throughout the state of Michigan where these physicians-in-training speak or understand the language of the local community to better serve those patients.

The authors assess the barriers that osteopathic medical students face when seeking research opportunities, identify resources currently available to osteopathic medical students at their respective schools, and investigate factors that contribute to an osteopathic medical student’s desire to pursue research opportunities.
