Schreyer Honors College - MD/PhD Summer Exposure Program

This program is only open to students at the Penn State Schreyer Honors College. Applications to this program are due by March 15th.

 

 

The Penn State Hershey MD/PhD Program offers a 10-week summer exposure program for outstanding students in the Shreyer Honors College who are interested in becoming a physician-scientist.  Students will spend 10 weeks working in a biomedical research laboratory at the College of Medicine under the guidance of a faculty member on the MD/PhD training faculty.  They will also shadow a physician during a once weekly clinical exposure session. Students will participate in all SURIP (Summer Undergraduate Research Internship Program) activities, including a research forum at the end of the summer (please see a full description of SURIP under "Our Programs").  Housing will be available on campus in Hershey for the summer and students will receive a stipend.  Two current freshman will be selected from the applicants.  Excellent students may be offered the opportunity to return for a second summer, between the sophomore and junior years.  This summer program is linked to the Schreyer Honors College MD/PhD Early Assurance Status (EAS) Program.  Information about the EAS Program can be  found in our brochure, which is available in the SHC office (10 Schreyer Honors College), or online on the Penn State Hershey MD/PhD website: http://www.med.psu. edu/web/mdphd/home
