Then consider Houston , Texas!!
If anyone is interested in a research term at MDACC in Houston for Summer 2017, my "dry lab" currently is recruiting medical student trainee (MS1-4) slots.
We typically have space for 6-10 students.
The clearance and intake process takes around 6 months, so now is good time to get the ball rolling. We also have rolling post-doc spots and currently have 2 folks who are on year-long research terms if that is a desired option.
Our team's work is focused on advanced imaging in head and neck radiotherapy (you can browse here: http://faculty.mdanderson.org/Clifton_Fuller/, here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=fuller+cd or here: https://gsbs.uth.edu/faculty/facult...s.htm?id=2d745b1b-b129-4e76-80f4-fa967a939a0b for info on the kind of projects our group is working on).
During the term students are typically tasked with supervised work on a larger imaging or toxicity data collection project, as well as a smaller "independent" projects suitable for eventual publication (depending on seniority; e.g. 3rd years need a faster pub turnaround than pre-meds). So far, over the last 4 years, we've had great success with our awesome students, with lab team summer student 1st-author pubs in IJROBP, PRO, Int. J. of Cancer, Green Journal, and JACMP, and coauthorships in JAMA Oncology, Radiology, and Cancer.
There is, unfortunately, no direct funding available for stipend support for summer terms in most cases
Med students from the med schools in Texas can get credit and can come for vists of 4-12 weeks. Other schools need a minimum 8-week commitment, and if class credit directly from MDACC is desired, let me know so we can pursue a research agreement with your homeschool (OTW you may have to pay a 1-hour credit course charge).
If you are interested, pls forward your NIH biosketch to via email to my lab director, at asmohamed [at] mdanderson [dot] org . Sadly, I rarely check my SDN DMs anymore because I get sad constantly reading how Rad Onc is a dying field now that immunotherapy has been discovered by MS2s.
Thanks, and pls feel free to forward to anyone you know who might be interested.
