First-year UASOM Medical Students with an interest in Pediatrics are encouraged to apply for the 2019 Russell Cunningham Memorial Research Program, an eight-week summer internship and research program. Based on these applications, two students will be selected and will work with faculty mentors from the Department of Pediatrics.

Faculty mentor responsibilities include:
1) helping the student design a summer research project
2) providing the student with clinical experience.
This may include observation or participation in clinical activities (clinics or hospital rounds) or attendance at educational conferences. Each student will receive $4000; an additional $1000 is available to cover costs of travel to present the research.

Faculty who are interested in mentoring a student for the summer of 2019 should forward the information and application document to the student. Applications must be submitted no later than February 18, 2019. For questions, please contact Clare Mallette, cmallette@peds.uab.edu.
