Program Description:
Summer Academic program for Medical Students (SAMS)/Medical Student Summer Research Program (MSSRP)
Each year a limited number of paid research fellowships are available to MCW-Milwaukee medical students during the summer between their M1 and M2 years. These opportunities are designed to expose medical students to cutting-edge basic science, clinical or translational research and to encourage them to explore careers in research and academic medicine. Students are integrated into the laboratories of full-time Medical College of Wisconsin faculty investigators and gain valuable experience as a
member of a research team working on some aspect of the preceptor’s study. The training is designed to help medical students acquire greater understanding of and appreciation for the tools and methodologies that support healthcare innovation and to visualize themselves in the physician-scientist role. Publishing and presenting are two program goals.
