The program exposes students to biomedical research and clinical medicine. Applicants are assigned to specific MGH laboratories or clinical sites where they undertake original research projects under the mentorship of an MGH investigator. Research opportunities are available in a wide range of disciplines, including clinical and basic science projects. In addition, students will attend weekly seminars both at the MGH and at Harvard Medical School. The seminar series will place particular emphasis upon issues in science and medicine as they relate to minorities.
