Summer Student Research Program

Hawai‘i Pacific Health is accepting applications for the eight-week 2012 Summer Student Research Program, which takes place June 18 to August 10, 2012. Ten to 12 university students, competitively selected, will be given an invaluable, hands-on introduction to the real world of medicine and clinical research. Applications are due February 27, 2012

2012 marks the 26th year of the program. Since 1986, this unique program partners the experience of conducting a clinical research study, with a structured medical curriculum highlighted by the “life cycle of research” course, “careers in medicine” talks with physicians, and visits to medical facilities and hospitals. Throughout the 8-week program, students are given the opportunity to pursue optional activities based on their individual areas of interest in medicine.

Each student becomes a special member of a working research team, receiving guidance and mentorship from the Principal Investigator (usually a physician in the community), and gets a flavor of the role of clinical research in the daily practice of medicine.

To date more than 260 students have participated and a high percentage have gone on to medical/research programs at prestigious institutions nationwide.
