The CTSC Summer Intensive Clinical/Translational Research Fellowship for Weill Cornell Medical Students is an 8-week continuous, full-time program that provides medical students who are between the first and second year of medical school with an introduction to clinical translational research. The program includes a summer research project conducted within the June to August timeframe, under the mentorship of any faculty member active in research at WCM or one of the other CTSC consortium institutions. The program also includes attendance at research seminars of the department in which the student is conducting research, completion of a CTSC C/T research workshop, a poster or oral presentation of the student’s project at the following year’s WCMC Medical Student Research Day, and a written work product (see Program Requirements below). The student's participation in this program is expected to qualify for Summer Research Elective Credit (SREC), but a separate application must be submitted for SREC using the Pre-Approval form.
The application deadline is March 26, 2025.
To apply for the program, eligible students should first contact a faculty member who has a research project in their field of interest to serve as a mentor. The student and the faculty mentor should work together to complete and submit the application in the Electronic Protocol Authoring and Review (ePAR) system.
