The Summer Research Program is a nine-week program (May 29 through July 26, 2019) 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 medical students or rising second-year medical students in the USA College of Medicine are eligible.
The summer experience includes 1) hands-on research related to basic science and/or clinical medicine; 2) a seminar program that focuses on various scientific and clinical topics; and 3) student presentations at Research Day. Support for the program is provided by the USA College of Medicine dean's office and from the National Institutes of Health.
This is a full-time summer research opportunity, and students are given a stipend to participate in the research. Faculty mentors are imperative to this program.
If you are interested in hosting a medical student this summer, submit a project proposal via InfoReady. Contact Marcina Lang at marcinalang@southalabama.edu or Dr. Wito Richter at richter@southalabama.edu if you have any questions.
