The Summer Student Research Program is designed to provide a number of qualified undergraduate medical students with an opportunity to become involved in biomedical research in the Faculty of Medicine over a twelve week period in the summer - introducing them to basic and clinical research initiatives in the hope that as physicians these young doctors will choose to incorporate a researach component into their clinical practice.
The following Dalhousie Medical Research Foundation Studentships are named and/or designated for specific purposes:
Leo Alexander Studentship - Cardiovascular Research
Dr. W. Alan Curry Studentship - Anatomy or Surgery
Morris Kohler Studentship - Neuroscience
Bergmann-Porter Studentship - General
Burpee Studentship - Lupus Research
Watson Studentship - Rheumatoid & Osteo Arthritis
In addition to the above named studentships, Dalhousie Medical Research Foundation also offers up to six annual research studentships earmarked for those medical students enrolled in the Music in Medicine Program.
Dalhousie Medical Research Foundation offers its sincere thanks to both the named and the anonymous donors and their families whose generous donations to the Foundation make this annual research experience support available to students at the Dalhousie Faculty of Medicine.
