SUMMER STUDENT
RESEARCH PROGRAM
Since 1986, over 200 highly motivated students interested in a career in
medicine, from prestigious universities nation-wide, have completed the intensive 8-week
Summer Student Research Program. Students are assigned an independent research
project under the guidance of a principal investigator, usually a physician in the
community, and experience an invaluable introduction to the real world of medical practice
and clinical research.

CAREERS IN MEDICINE |

Students have the opportunity to meet physicians of different
specialties. The purpose is to help the students understand the challenges that such a
career presents and the variety of opportunities available in health care. |

LIFE CYCLE OF RESEARCH |

Guest speakers present issues in the “life cycle”
of research – idea generation, design, ethical considerations, funding, statistical
analysis and presentation of final results. The purpose is to help the students understand
how their individual activities on a project over the summer fit into a broader picture,
as well as some of the important issues in conducting research. |
