The mission of the MSSU-KCU Research Consortium (MKRC) is to engage MSSU and KCU students in inter-disciplinary clinical & basic research opportunities for learning. The MKRC seeks to improve the health of people in the Joplin, Missouri, and the four-states community. The mission of the MKRC is to investigate evidence-based osteopathic medicine through a team-based health care delivery strategy. The presentations by Drs. Arnce and Staudinger will highlight two ongoing clinical research studies at KCU in Joplin.

Elijah Elliott is currently a medical student at Kansas City University. Growing up in the small town of Oswego, KS, Elijah Elliott was drawn to the path of being a physician by noticing the health disparities of rural areas, as well as the importance of close relationships between physician and community. Elijah came to KCU by way of the “Yours to Lose” program, an accelerated acceptance partnership between KCU and Missouri Southern State University. During his undergraduate years, he spent much of his time in the classroom, volunteering at Freeman’s ICU, tutoring local high school students, and spending time with peers. Since arriving at KCU, Elijah has served the role of Treasurer for KCU-Joplin’s the Student American Osteopathic Academy of Orthopedics club, and has also joined other students at the Missouri Southern-Kansas City University Research Consortium (MKRC). At the MKRC, Elijah has participated in the “OMT and Opioid Use Disorder” project, and has also helped write a review article over the Post Translational Modifications of Pregnane-X Receptor.
Elijah discloses that he has no relevant financial relationships with any organization producing, marketing, reselling, or distributing health care goods or services consumed by, or used on, patients relative to the content of this presentation.

Dr. Staudinger serves as the Director of the MSSU-KCU Stress Research Consortium (MKRC). The MKRC is housed within the Biomedical Research Laboratory (BMRL), which is comprised of approximately 3,000 square feet of office and wet-lab space located 6.8 miles from the KCU campus on the campus of Missouri Southern State University (MSSU) in Joplin. Dr. Staudinger also serves as the course director for the Biomedical Science Research Elective (IDIS 198) offered through the KCU-COM. Student participation in this research elective course serves as an entry into ongoing research efforts, and is intended to provide a framework within which both KCU COM & two-year CKU COB M.S. students may engage in bio medical science research projects in Joplin. This course represents a mechanism by which students will receive academic credit for their participation in our research studies. These research-related activities are sponsored and located at the BMRL at MMSU, the KCU campus, or other approved regional partner institution(s) in Joplin. Dr. Staudinger discloses that he has no relevant financial relationship with any organization producing, marketing, reselling, or distributing healthcare goods or services consumed by, or used on, a patient relative to the content of this presentation.
