Summer Research Experience
This program provides summer clinical research experiences for medical students at Johns Hopkins. These opportunities are intended to expose students to clinical research. This is made possible through a new NIH CTSA funded Predoctoral Clinical Research Training Grant directed by Dr. Edgar R. Miller and Dr. Mary Catherine Beach.
The short-term training experience includes 8 weeks of working during June and July with a clinical researcher and his/her team on a project. The trainee will attend research team meetings of the investigator and undertake a specific activity related to a project including literature review, data collection or data analysis. They will also complete a set of readings provided by the program that will build upon the syllabus from the Clinical Epidemiology Course. Students will be required to attend group seminars every week at Noon during June and July to expose them to other clinical researchers, topics in clinical research and share their experiences working on their research projects. Each student will receive a stipend of $3500 for an 8 week experience and mentors receive a stipend as well. The program has funding for 12 students.
