Congratulations to the 2018 Summer Research Scholars at MedStar Health

Share this

Each year, MedStar Health awards scholarships to approximately 30 first-year Georgetown University medical students in order to pursue research during the summer. For eight weeks, each summer scholar works under the direction of a MedStar Health physician-investigator to conduct research in a specific area, with the opportunity to have some clinical exposure during their summer between their first and second years of medical school. These scholars are housed at various locations throughout the MedStar system and their experience culminates with a capstone presentation in the fall. You can view photos and read about the 2017 Capstone here.

Congratulations to the Class of 2021 Scholarship Recipients. Best of luck with your research!
