Success Stories: Medical Students Think Like Clinical Researchers
University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine launched the IDEA (Independent Data Exploration and Analysis) project, a mandatory year‑long curriculum for first‑year medical students that embeds artificial‑intelligence tools into research training. Initially using ChatGPT and Claude, the program transitioned to the specialized TrialMind platform to better support data extraction, coding, and literature review tasks. Students work in 18 groups of four, progressing through milestones that let them explore real‑world health datasets and develop hands‑on research skills. The initiative seeks to cultivate clinicians who think like clinical researchers.
