Summer Research Proposal Deadline Approaching

The deadline to submit proposals for the 2015 Medical Student Summer Research Program is March 4, 2015.

The USA College of Medicine's Summer Research Program is a 9-week program (June 1 through July 31, 2015) that pairs medical students with faculty mentors.

Through this program, students develop an appreciation of how research contributes to the knowledge and the practice of medicine. Accepted entering students or rising second year students in the USA College of Medicine are eligible. The summer experience includes hands-on research related to basic science and/or clinical medicine; a seminar program that focuses on various scientific and clinical topics; and student presentations at Research Day.

The Medical Student Research Proposal form and the Research Compliance Checklist for the Summer Research Program can be found online here http://www.usahealthsystem.com/MedicalStudentSummerResearchProgram.  Forms should be submitted to Marcina Lang, the program coordinator, at marcinalang@southalabama.edu.
