The UW Department of Surgery has a long tradition in educating medical students in the clinical and the research environments and has been an active participant in the UW SMPH Shapiro Summer Research Program since 2002. Summer research programs in the Department of Surgery aim to provide students with an appreciation for the nature of scientific research. The program includes seminars and additional training opportunities to help develop skills in data collection, analysis, and presentation of results to the medical community. Projects offered are across a diverse field of surgical specialties and may include laboratory-based basic science, clinical research, translational research, health services, and global/public health-related research.
