2008 Summer Science Program

The Department of Pediatrics at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences is again sponsoring a Summer Science Program for college level juniors and seniors.  This program is intended to give outstanding upper level college students the experience of working in medical research and a view of medicine in general. Students in the program are assigned to work with a faculty member in the Department of Pediatrics on a research project involving children's health.  The projects are varied, including both laboratory and clinical projects.  In addition, a lecture series is conducted focusing on research methods and recent advances in medical research, along with valuable information regarding the pursuit of a medical career.

The program will last for ten weeks during the summer and will begin on June 2, 2008.  Selection of students is based on information provided on their application form.  We also require a copy of a current university transcript as well as a letter of reference from the student's advisor.  Applicants will be notified of their selection by the end of March.  Since this program is supported by the University of Arkansas, Arkansas residents are given priority in selection.

Requirements:

• Students must be at the junior or senior level in college

• Students must have a science background

• Participants in the program should have completed at least 2 years of college or university studies
