More than 20 students will join the Department of Surgery this summer to participate in one of three summer research programs hosted by the department every year:
- SURE: Surgery Undergraduate Research Experience
- PRISM: Pre-College Research Internship for Students from Minority Backgrounds
- STREAMS: Short-Term Research Experiences Advancing Medical Students
These programs provide students with first-hand research experience under the mentorship of the department’s faculty and senior research staff. Students will also participate in a variety of learning experiences, including seminars, workshops and supplemental activities, such as clinical shadowing. At the end of the summer, the students from each program will present their research.
View the table below for a complete listing of all students and mentors participating in summer research programs this summer.
