Baylor College of Medicine (Houston, Texas)

The Summer Medical and Research Training (SMART) Program is a 9-week summer research program offered by the Graduate School. From its initiation in 1989, the SMART Program has provided undergraduate students from more than 240 colleges and universities an opportunity to experience research in a medical school environment. Between 80 and 90 positions are available each summer. The size of the program affords a unique chance to work closely with students from many different ethnic, educational and geographical backgrounds who share a common interest in biomedical science careers. Students become functioning members of Baylor laboratories and contribute to research efforts in more than 20 basic and clinical science departments. Students and mentors are matched based on the student's educational level, laboratory experiences and research interests. At the end of the program, students submit a short summary of their research.  Daily noon seminars designed for this program help students develop their fundamental knowledge, introduce areas of biomedical research and emphasize the reciprocal relationship between basic research and clinical applications. A wide range of scientific topics, as well as career options and opportunities for participants interested in research, are explored. Seminar speakers span the range of career development from graduate students to world-renowned scientists and physicians.  Our application deadline is January 15, 2010 with letters of recommendation and transcripts due February 1.
