| The
Summer STAR (Student Training And Research) program at the Medical
College of Georgia is designed to provide biomedical research experience
for undergraduate students with a desire to pursue a graduate
education in biomedical sciences. This program provides opportunities for
highly motivated and talented undergraduate students to develop skills as
young scientists and to explore further their interest in biomedical
research. During the course of the ten-week program, students
actively participate in a biomedical research project under the guidance
of a MCG faculty member. Applicants select the MCG
faculty member that they would like to work with if
accepted into the program. Biomedical science research opportunities for
Summer STAR participants are available in: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology,
Cell Biology and Anatomy, Molecular Medicine, Pharmacology, Physiology, Vascular Biology,
Oral Biology and The Georgia Prevention Institute. In addition
to working in the laboratory, students attend workshops, discussion groups
and laboratory demonstrations that expose them to a broad range
of biomedical research techniques, approaches and laboratory experiences available at
the Medical College of Georgia. The Summer STAR program
provides excellent preparation for students planning to pursue a PhD
or MD/PhD in the biomedical sciences. The Summer 2005
STAR session will run from May 16 – July 22,
2005, and students are awarded a stipend of $3,500 (before
taxes) for their participation in this ten- week session.
