Michigan State College of Medicine Summer Undergraduate Education and Research Program
Summer Undergraduate Education and Research Program
June 1, 2015 - August 7, 2015
Up to six awards will be given to qualified undergraduate applicants each year. The program includes both clinical & laboratory experiences. Students will work in a research laboratory under the guidance of selected faculty members in the biomedical sciences, shadow physician-scientists in a clinical setting, attend seminars emphasizing the intersection of science and medicine, and participate in career development workshops. Students will work with faculty on an individual basis and as part of a research team. Research teams will include graduate students, post docs, research scientists, and current DO-PhD students.
Eligibility: Applications are invited from undergraduate students who are currently in their junior year, have a GPA of 3.5 or higher, and have a minimum of one full semester of research experience. Students who have a GPA of less than 3.5 but have extensive research experience are also encouraged to apply. Applicants should be involved in research and be interested in graduate and medical education in biomedical sciences leading to a DO-PhD. Eligible students must be US citizens or permanent residents who anticipate graduating with a bachelor’s degree in the biological or physical sciences in the academic year following the summer of planned participation. Graduating seniors are not eligible.
Selection: Selection of students is based on the completed application, a personal statement of 1-2 pages, which describes academic interests, career goals, and research experiences. Students must state specific scientific interests and any particular research areas or techniques they wish to explore in order to be matched with the faculty. Also required are two letters of recommendation (one from faculty and one from an advisor) and a transcript from the student's undergraduate institution(s). Minority students are encouraged to apply.
Deadline for receipt of all materials in our office is March 31, 2015. Decisions will be made and students notified by April 30, 2015.

Professionalism Required
Scott Jaschik from Inside Higher Ed reports (paraphrased):
"A federal appeals court ruled Wednesday that Case Western Reserve University may revoke a medical degree it was forced by a lower court to award. The case involves a medical student (and until Wednesday's ruling an M.D.) who had a series of problems related to what Case officials viewed as unprofessional conduct.
The appeals court said that the lower court created a false distinction between professionalism and academic performance. In medical education, the appeals court ruled, professionalism is part of what students must learn and practice.
Anyone who has ever been to a doctor's office knows the value of a good bedside manner. That is why Case Western does more than teach its students facts about the human body. Its curriculum identifies nine 'core competencies.' First on the list is professionalism. Medical knowledge does not make an appearance until the fifth slot."

Professionalism is required in all aspects of the healthcare field, not solely knowledge of the profession. Are you practicing professionalism as your prepare for your health profession of choice?

Summer Undergraduate Research Opportunities at UAB: SIBS and PARAdiGM
These two eight week programs are held concurrently from June 2-July 24, 2015. Students will receive stipends and free on-campus housing but will be responsible for their own meals, travel to and from Birmingham, and other expenses. Students in both programs will be introduced to the concept of scientific research, principles of scientific experimentation, the proper methods of data analysis, the interpretation, presentation, and translational applications of research results, and to clinicians who practice at academic medical centers. Both of these programs introduce outstanding undergraduates to the exciting career options of being a scientific investigator while also being a practicing physician. Eligible students may apply to both programs. Applications must be submitted online and the deadline is February 15, 2015.
Summer in Biomedical Sciences (SIBS) Undergraduate Research Program
Our goal in offering this fellowship is to give talented undergraduate students the opportunity to experience the challenges and rewards of intensive, hypothesis-drive laboratory research. This experience should help students make well informed decisions about future career plans. Previous research experience is not required. We especially welcome applications from students who are interested in research as a potential career, including students interested in PhD and MD/PhD programs. We accept fifteen students per summer into this program. We expect applicants to SIBS to have completed at least their sophomore year of undergraduate coursework. We anticipate that successful candidates will typically demonstrate grade point averages of 3.0 (“B”) or higher, especially in science, math, and related areas.
Preparation for Graduate and Medical Education (PARAdiGM)
The PARAdiGM program focuses on undergraduates from diverse and underrepresented minority backgrounds, and offers the opportunity to participate in the program for two summers. In addition to working in the laboratory of a faculty mentor with an actively funded biomedical research program, PARAdiGM participants will learn about careers in academic medical centers (AMCs) by shadowing clinician-investigators in their clinics, as well as on in-patient rounds. At the end of the first summer in the program, the students will write an abstract and participate in both a local and national poster presentation of their research results. The students will also receive instruction in essay writing, MCAT preparation, and critical career skills. The ultimate goal of the program is to provide undergraduate students with an understanding and appreciation of the biomedical research process so as to encourage them to pursue careers studying patients and their diseases after further postgraduate training in graduate and medical education. Previous research experience is not required in order to apply. The PARAdiGM program is especially useful for students who do not have local access to biomedical research and/or academic physician-scientist role models.
