The Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine will again host the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program. The SURF program provides a wide variety of summer research opportunities for undergraduate students interested in careers in medicine or biomedical research. Participants in this program work in an active research lab under the guidance of a biomedical science faculty member. The goal is to expose students to  the challenges, excitement and satisfaction of research.

The SURF program is 7 weeks in length and includes room & board, a living allowance, and the potential for a guaranteed interview for the entering class at the medical school.   Detailed information, eligibility requirements, and application materials can be obtained by going to the SURF web site at  https://www.ohio.edu/medicine/education/pre-med-education/summer-programs/surf.cfm   The deadline for application is February 1, 2020.

The Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine will again host the Summer Scholars Program. The Summer Scholars program is a tremendous academic experience  for underrepresented, or educationally or economically disadvantaged students to grow personally and be challenged professionally on the OU-HCOM Athens campus.  The program replicates what will be experienced in the first year of medical school at OU-HCOM. Courses, taught by OU-HCOM faculty, include gross anatomy (with cadaver dissection), histology, immunology, biochemistry, integrated biomedical sciences,  an introduction to case based learning (CBL), and workshops dealing with the admission process, learning strategies, time management and many other experiences relevant to the medical school experience.

The Summer Scholars Program is five  weeks in length and includes room and board, a living allowance, travel expenses, and the potential for a guaranteed interview for the entering class at the medical school. Detailed information, eligibility requirements, and application materials can be obtained by going to the  Summer Scholars web site at https://www.ohio.edu/medicine/education/pre-med-education/summer-programs/summer-scholars/index.cfm

The deadline for application is February 1, 2020
