Medical student summer research program: Our short-term training program introduces and engages medical students in sleep and circadian science through didactics, workshops, networking, and mentored research experience. Over the course of a 2–3 month summer program, we introduce trainees to sleep and circadian science, including research methods and approaches across the translational spectrum.
Program goal: Trainees complete a secondary data analysis project with a mentor during the summer program, which leads to submission of a conference abstract(s) and, ideally, a peer-reviewed manuscript during the following academic year.
Medical student scholarly project: This is a longer term involvement through the School of Medicine Scholarly Project.
