UM-SMART Summer Program Deadline is Jan 16

 Just a reminder that the deadline for the UM-SMART summer program is Friday, January 16th.
Many thanks for passing the word along.

I am writing to make you aware of a ten week summer research program that Michigan's Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP), (which is an MD/Ph.D. program) is sponsoring. The "UM-SMART" summer program is designed to provide an opportunity for highly motivated and talented undergraduates interested in careers as physician scientists to enhance their science and academic skills.

The program is targeted towards students who are from geographically, culturally or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds, students who have experienced financial hardship, and students with disabilities.  Applicants should have completed at least their freshman undergraduate year.

The main focus of the program is laboratory biomedical research, but the program also includes physician shadowing, an MCAT prep course, and an opportunity to attend bi-weekly seminars and a 2 day MSTP retreat in August. 

I have attached a program announcement and application form for the program.  I would appreciate it if you could pass it along to any student groups or individual students whom you think might have an interest and would benefit.  Should you have any questions about the program please feel free to contact me.  The deadline for application submission is January 16, 2015.
