The Office of Medical Education has indicated student interest and is identifying potential candidates.  Investigators will be paired with medical students interested in this experience. Investigators, if you have identified potential medical students, please forward the application to students and ask them to apply. Medical student researchers will be provided with a $4000 stipend to enable this activity in your lab over the summer and will run 8 weeks, approximately from June 9-August 1, 2025.

To complement the research experience, students will attend a weekly session that will feature a short talk by participating faculty, followed by brief, 5 min presentation by fellows on their summer projects.  The program is informal and geared to promoting discussion and an exchange of ideas.  As part of the overall program, we request that research fellows participate in a poster forum to be held at the end of the summer (details to follow).   This is a valuable networking event and provides students with an opportunity to share their work with fellow students, research mentors, and other campus research programs.
