External Research, Externships, Community and Educational Opportunities

Overview

The Office of Medical Student Research maintains a list of external research, externships, community and educational opportunities. This list is updated by the Career Development Center. A list of one year fellowship opportunities is also maintained.. Throughout the year, we will email students with short summaries of recently received opportunities and will add them to the list of external opportunities. As you begin to make your plans, keep in mind that additional information on fellowships, research and externships may be found by doing an independent search on the Internet or by contacting the hospital or university in your area.
