Introduction: Limited evidence is currently available relating to research acitivity of medical students training in regional or rural areas.
Objective: To describe medical student interest and participation in research at The University of Queensland Rural Clinical School (UQRCS).
Design: Annual student expression of interest surveys were collated with records of student research participation maintained at UQRCS from 2017-2022.
