Dear Colleagues,

 

The Ohio University 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, 8 quarter hours of biology credit 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

www.oucom.ohiou.edu/surfprog.htm . The deadline for application is February 1, 2009.

 

Please encourage your students to take advantage of this tremendous opportunity. If you have any questions about the program, please contact the OU-COM Admissions Office at 800-345-1560.

 

Best regards,

 

John
