Congratulations to the 2019 Summer Research Scholars at MedStar Health

Every year, MedStar Health awards scholarships to approximately 30 first-year Georgetown University medical students in order to pursue research during the summer. For seven 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.
Congratulations to the Class of 2022 Scholarship Recipients. Best of luck with your research!
