Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Summer Research Fellowships
The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology has established two 8-week research fellowships for University of Pennsylvania medical students during the summer following the first year of medical school. These fellowships provide an exciting opportunity for motivated individuals who are considering a career in Obstetrics and Gynecology to develop skills in research methodology while gaining valuable mentorship within the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Two fellowships positions are offered: one focused on women’s health innovation and the second focused on reproductive research topics. Following acceptance, the student will be matched with a faculty mentor on a well-established project in the field of focus. University of Pennsylvania medical students who have completed their first year are eligible to apply. Application materials will be sent out via the MS1 list serve in the late fall.
