Hey everyone! Just needed some advice.

I am interested in research opportunities in the summer, however, the UK is rather limited in this respect. Medical students in the early years of their degrees often don't get the opportunity for research, unless nepotism is at play.

I was quite interested in a research internship over the summer in the USA; this seems more commonplace but competitive, from my understanding.

Does anyone know of any scheme for UK students to gain research experience in the USA?
