Acceptance Requirements
Previous research experience is required. We have very few undergraduate student opportunities for clinical research for the coming summer and because the summer is very short, prior bench research is strongly encouraged. One letter of recommendation should be from the laboratory and one from a faculty member from science classwork. This program is suitable for students who envision a career in science with or without a medical degree.
