Voice T32 Research Training Program

Medical Student Summer Program in Voice Research

The Department of Surgery, as well as the UW School of Medicine and Public Health, have well established programs that provide research opportunities for medical students in the summer following their first year of medical school. Using these programs as a platform, our training program will provide short-term summer research opportunities in the field of voice research. The program requires a 10-12 week experience at UW, but the nature of the program requires students to show initiative in preparation for the summer research experience, as well as follow-up work upon completion of the short-term project. Trainees will engage in mentored research project, medical student specific research curriculum, as well as voice research specific conferences and lab meetings to enhance the experience.

Eligibility
Applicants must be medical students currently enrolled and in their first year at an LCME accredited medical school in the U.S. Applicants must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.

Stipend
Medical students participating in the summer research program receive a stipend. The stipend is based on the NIH National Research Service Award pre-doctoral stipend levels and the number of weeks in the program.

How to Apply
Please check back for application instructions. We anticipate positions for medical students funded by this training grant will be available in 2010.

Criteria for Acceptance
Applicants to the program will be reviewed and accepted based on past experience, interest in pursuing a voice-related medical career, and quality of the research project and learning objectives proposed.
