Summer Medical Student Research (SUMMR) Program

The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Summer Medical Student Research (SUMMR) Program aims to help talented students overcome barriers to accessing academic medicine, fostering excellence in the next generation of clinicians and scientists. Participants experience both clinical care and research, working with international experts in pediatric care and child health research. Those selected to participate join us in Philadelphia on our main campus and receive a $5,000 stipend for their in-person participation. SUMMR programming includes lectures, research mentorship, and clinical activities over the 8-week experience. We offer a varied array of experiences across the Departments of Pediatrics, Surgery, Radiology, Psychiatry, Pathology and Critical Care Medicine/Anesthesia. Scholars have the opportunity to meet with Departmental leaders, leaders of our Pediatric Residency Program, and resident and fellow trainees during their time at CHOP. Eligible students must attend all 8 weeks of the program. More information about the program and application process can be found on their website.
