Medical Student Summer Research Program
The Frederick P. Whiddon College of Medicine sponsors a summer Medical Student Research Program every year. 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: 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. Support for the program is provided by the Dean's Office.
