The SLIM Summer Patient Safety Research Intensive is an 10-week program where Columbia medical students have the opportunity to develop patient safety research projects or contribute to ongoing projects, examine data sets to answer salient research questions, work with experienced researchers, statisticians, and programmers, and author or co-author a manuscript for publication.
