Summer Research Program Abstracts

If you are a McGovern Medical School at UTHealth first-year medical student, you can gain hands-on laboratory experience under the supervision of a faculty sponsor during the summer between your first and second year of medical school.

As a summer research program student, you will be guided by your faculty mentor on a research project over 10 weeks. Students are expected to work 40 hours weekly on their research in their selected faculty mentor’s laboratory. At the conclusion of the program, you will submit an abstract of your research. Your mentor will also help you develop a poster that must be presented at the annual Research Forum held in the fall.
