PARAdiGM - Preparation for Graduate and Medical Education

PARAdiGM is UAB's NIH/NHLBI R25-funded summer program for outstanding undergraduates from various backgrounds who want to explore the potential of a future career as a physician-scientist - becoming a scientific investigator and a practicing physician.

About Overview

Ten (10) students who have finished their sophomore or junior year of college will be accepted into the 8-week paid summer program (2025 dates: June 9, 2025 - August 1, 2025) to work with UAB faculty on mentored research projects and participate in clinical experiences. PARAdiGM students will receive a competitive stipend for their participation in the program. Campus housing will be provided, but travel expenses will not be covered.

PARAdiGM is particularly interested in students who have no local campus access to research experiences or physician-scientist role models. We anticipate that successful candidates will typically demonstrate grade point averages of 3.0 ("B") or higher, especially in science, math, and related areas.
