Health Services Research Summer Scholars Program for Students Underrepresented in Medicine

To address the current underrepresentation of minorities in fields that inform the direction of health care practice and policy, the Master of Science in Health Policy Research Program and the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics (LDI) have developed a Health Services Research Summer Scholars Program for Students Underrepresented in Medicine. We welcome applications from all medical students who are members of groups who are underrepresented in medical research. During the program, the students will conduct a mentored research project, participate in an Introductory to Health Policy and Health Services Research and Innovation Science Seminar Course (HPR 6000), receive career guidance from multiple health services research role models, attend the Academy Health Annual Research Meeting, and develop a health services research network. One to three fellowships will be awarded in the form of a $3,000 stipend to University of Perelman School of Medicine students per year. If you are interested in the fellowship and have questions, contact Dr. Pete Groeneveld.
