Medical students begin summer research

The USA College of Medicine kicked off the Summer Research Program with orientation on Wednesday, June 1. The program will culminate on Friday, July 22, with the 49th annual Medical Student Research Day.

The program matches incoming first-year medical students and rising second-year medical students with College of Medicine basic science and clinical faculty researchers. The summer experience includes hands-on research, a seminar program that focuses on various scientific and clinical topics, and student presentations. This year, 57 medical students, 12 of whom are incoming first-years, are participating in the program.

Casey Daniel, Ph.D., M.P.H., associate professor of family medicine at the USA College of Medicine and a cancer researcher at the Mitchell Cancer Institute, is chair of the summer research committee.
