SUMMER RESEARCH IMMERSION
Dedicated Time to Experience Research
The summer between the first and second years of medical school provides students with eight weeks of dedicated time to focus on research and scholarship.
Students have the opportunity to work closely with a faculty mentor, gain hands-on research experience, and apply the foundational skills developed during Phase 1. Summer research can also provide a foundation for projects that continue throughout later phases of medical school.
WHY SUMMER IMMERSION?
