Interesting Research Programs

[blazinfury]

Can anyone describe or name any cool research programs out there that are geared toward MD/PhD students? Can anyone name any cool activities or programs that they participated in that they did to stand-out from the pack of other viable MD/PhD applicants? Thanks.

if you type into google "summer research programs," you'll get A LOT of options for summer programs that are geared towards MD/PhD and PhD. However, most are generally more geared towards PhD.

I'm going to a summer research program at Harvard this week, so PM me in a few weeks or months if you want my opinion on the program. I applied to a few this year including Yale BioSTEP, Cornell Access to Research, Johns Hopkins SIP, NYU SURP, Harvard SHURP, UCSF SRTP, etc. From what I've heard, they are all great programs. You just have to apply broadly because they are highly competitive.

MSTP at the University of Iowa has a summer research program geared specifically for future MSTP students. http://www.medicine.uiowa.edu/mstp/New/mstp/summer/index.htm

PM if you have any further questions.
