Radiation Oncology Medical Student Program
This summer research opportunity is a 10-week program that offers hands-on experience in radiation oncology research. Possible research experiences span a wide spectrum, including but not limited to laboratory-based scientific studies, large dataset analyses and review of patient clinical or imaging data. Throughout the summer, students participate in radiation oncology-specific as well as institution-wide programming to help familiarize students with oncology broadly and radiation oncology specifically. The program concludes with our annual Radiation Oncology Summer Research Symposium where participants present talks and posters on their research projects to peers and faculty. Students who participate in this program are introduced to the field of radiation oncology, have opportunities to learn about and engage in oncology research, and are afforded opportunities to establish mentorship relationships that may last well beyond the summer.
