External Research, Externships, Community and Educational Opportunities
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. This list also includes information on one year fellowship opportunities. 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 searching the Internet or contacting the hospital or university in your area. For additional information on finding a research opportunity click on the "Tips on Finding a Research Opportunity" link below. I hope you find this list helpful in your specific search.
