About the Journal

Focus and Scope

Insight is an annual student-run medical student research journal that serves as a medium to showcase and celebrate the research excellence at Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM). By highlighting the talented works of peers and faculty, our journal serves to inspire and ignite research interest early in medical education. Research is a way of pushing the folds of medicine—to contribute to advances that make a better future possible for patients. We invite you to approach our journal with an open inquisitive mind and to pass forward the wisdom and knowledge that you will gain through medical school. Finally, we invite you to join the medical community at IUSM in the journey toward becoming physicians who strive to create a better future for our patients through compassionate care, scientific inquiry, and hunger for knowledge.
