We offer a competitive 10-week summer training program for students who have completed their junior or senior years of undergraduate college or first year of medical school. The goal of the program is to exposed students to an academic pediatric environment and to encourage them to choose careers in research, pediatrics, and academic medicine. For 32 years, we have paired students with mentors in clinical, basic, and translational research from a variety of pediatric disciplines. Students will also attend classes on various academic topics and actively participate in journal clubs on contemporary pediatric issues. At the end of the summer, students present their results at a poster session for the whole Department of Pediatrics at the University of Rochester Medical Center. Many students become co-authors on manuscripts incorporating their research and create lasting relationships with their mentors. I encourage you to explore our website and apply for our program if you are considering a career in academic medicine, pediatrics, or clinical/basic/translational research
