Massachusetts General Hospital Summer Research Trainee Program (SRTP)
The Summer Research Trainee Program (SRTP) at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) is an eight-week program designed to inspire students underrepresented in medicine (UiM) to pursue careers in academic medicine and biomedical research. Participants are paired with MGH faculty preceptors to engage in cutting-edge research projects tailored to their interests. SRTP offers UiM students the opportunity to conduct novel research in various biomedical science and health policy areas. The program includes weekly faculty-led didactics, career development sessions, and exposure to leadership in academic medicine. Participants develop scientific writing and presentation skills, culminating in a final research presentation.
