Research opportunities include laboratory-based experiences in basic and translational biology, clinical investigation, and community-based research projects. Student scholars will spend eight weeks during their summer primarily engaged in a mentored research project, with additional opportunities for touring hospital units and research facilities as well as shadowing physicians and researchers in rounds and clinics.<\/p>\n<p>The Summer Science Program hosts a lecture series for participants highlighting elements of biomedical research, including research methodology, introductions to academic pediatrics, and sessions exploring post-graduate educational pathways such as graduate school, medical school and other post-baccalaureate training. Student scholars will present the findings of their research projects to other program participants, mentors, and the Arkansas Children\u2019s research community at the conclusion of the program.<\/p>\n<p>The Summer Science Program offers valuable experience for college students interested in pursuing post-graduate training in biomedical sciences through an M.D., Ph.D., or M.D.\/Ph.D. program.
