    PRESENTATION 1 ABSTRACT: The Research & Scholarly Communication Peer Associate Program: Medical Students Take the Lead - Gina Schlesselman-Tarango, Des Moines University. Medical students are hungry for research experience that can help them stand out, but there is often limited opportunity to work alongside faculty. The Des Moines University Library’s RSC Peer Associate Program provides students a paid opportunity to participate in an intensive institute that not only connects and expands upon their coursework, but also provides them with library research and evidence-based medicine training they can list on their resumes. After completing the institute, associates work together to develop, promote, and assess an outreach or educational project meant to support their peers. This presentation will outline the application process, design and implementation of the institute curriculum, communication of the program to the campus community, challenges, and more. We hope to have one or more student presenters share their perspective(s) to give them an opportunity to contribute to the scholarly communication ecosystem firsthand.
