Medical Student Summer Research Program

Mission Statement

The goals of this program are to develop UMass Chan T.H. Chan School of Medicine students' skills in research, and to cultivate students' interest in the inclusion of research in their careers as physicians.  Faculty mentors provide projects on which T.H. Chan School of Medicine students work for pay during an eight-week period in the summer before or after their first year.
