If you are a UTHSC-Houston first-year medical student, you can
gain hands-on laboratory experience under the supervision of a faculty
sponsor of your choice during the summer between your first and second year
of medical school. As part of our program, you’ll receive special training in
laboratory and radiation safety, laboratory animal methodology, research
technology, and biomedical ethics. Also part of the program are weekly
seminars with a variety of guest speakers focusing on topics from
cutting-edge research to career development. As a summer research program student you will be guided by your
faculty mentor on a research project over a 10-week period during the summer.
At the end of the program, you will submit a research abstract of your
research. Your mentor will also help you develop a research poster, which
must be presented at the annual Research Forum held in the fall. The MS-1
calendar is located under Calendars to the right. Students are expected to work 40 hours per week on their
research in their selected faculty's laboratory.
