Internships/Fellowships
Summer Research Internship
The Department of Family Medicine offers multiple paid internship opportunities for students in the MD or MD/MPH program. Interns will have the ability to select among a number of research studies. Topic availability will vary from year to year. As a guide, projects for the 2009 internships were offered in the following areas:
- Children's Access to Healthcare Study
- Rural Oregon Cancer Screening Study
- Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) Contraceptive Study
- Maternity and Child Health
Students will function as part of the research team and perform various activities such as project management, data collection, entry, and analysis, IRB application, survey development, etc., depending on the project. In addition, students may have an opportunity to accompany their project mentor while seeing patients in one of the Family Medicine clinics or affiliated clinics.
Summer interns are expected to:
- Work 30-40 hours a week
- Present at Family Medicine Research & Scholarship Conference
- Submit a paper or presentation to a recognized forum
