Summer Research for First-Year M.D. Students

Each summer first-year M.D. students have the opportunity to conduct hypothesis-driven investigations in their fields of interest.

Students conduct 8 to 10 weeks of research with faculty mentors at a salary of $300 per week. They also are encouraged to present their findings at the Research Day poster session.

Both basic science and clinical faculty members are eligible mentors for this program.

Faculty

If you already have a student with whom you would like to work, you may contact that student to establish research goals and project details and submit your project to Dr. Fred Minnear for approval.

If you wish to make yourself available as a possible mentor, please contact Dr. Fred Minnear.

Students

If you have a research project in mind, please contact the appropriate faculty member to establish research goals and project plans. Then ask the faculty member to contact Dr. Fred Minnear to discuss the project. If you do not have a project in mind but wish to participate in the program, you may contact Barbara Allen about available mentors.
