Diagnostic Radiology Summer Research Program at Penn

The program is for Penn medical students during the summer between their first and second year. Students will be paired with a diagnostic radiologist and actively participate in a research project for 6 weeks in the summer. Student-mentor pairing usually occurs after the selection process. A list of available projects will be shared with students for them to rank in terms of interest. Students may also choose a mentor and project ahead of time, though this is not required, and not all project designs are suited for this 6-week program. A stipend of $250/week is offered. Students are encouraged to prepare an abstract for a radiology society meeting and to present this abstract, if it is accepted. Students are also encouraged to submit a manuscript for publication. We have several highly successful clinician-scientists in our world-renowned Penn Department of Radiology who are eager to mentor and work with students. There are numerous ongoing research projects, and we are certain that we can find a suitable project that matches your interests. For more information please contact Dr. Scott Simpson.
