One Year Research Opportunities
The College of Medicine supports many students taking a one-year research fellowship designed to provide time for extended discovery, and opportunities to get hands-on experience beyond the medical school curriculum. These prestigious year-off research opportunities are pursued by some students between their second and third or third and fourth years of school. A limited number of research fellowships include stipends paid to fellowship recipients.
