Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education’s Summer Research Fellowship
Length: 6-8 weeks
Deadline: March 1, 2018
Description: The Summer Research Fellowship was created to address the need for clinical investigators from diverse backgrounds. Health needs of U.S. minority populations have been studied inadequately, due in part to the shortage of clinical investigators belonging to underrepresented groups.Although the number of clinicians belonging to underrepresented groups has increased, there has not been a corresponding increase in clinical investigators. Students often believe the choice between clinical medicine and research is an "either/or" decision. This unfortunate misperception is not true for patient-oriented clinical research.

Pharmacology
Paul Calabresi Medical Student Fellowship in Clinical Pharmacology
Deadline: February 1, 2018
Clinical pharmacology is the science of developing and using drugs in the treatment of patients. It is underpinned by the basic science of pharmacology, with added focus on the application of pharmacological principles and methods in the real world. It has a broad scope, from the discovery of new target molecules to the effects of drug use in whole populations.
Clinical pharmacology connects the gap between medical practice and laboratory science. The clinical pharmacologist promotes the safety of prescriptions, maximizes the drug effects and minimizes the side effects. It is important that clinical pharmacologists interact with pharmacists who have special skill in the areas of drug information, medication safety and other aspects of pharmacy practice related to clinical pharmacology.
Clinical pharmacologists usually have a rigorous medical and scientific training which enables them to evaluate evidence and produce new data through well-designed studies. Clinical pharmacologists must have access to enough outpatients for clinical care, teaching and education, and research in collaboration with other medical sub-specialists. Their responsibilities to patients include, but are not limited to analyzing adverse drug effects, therapeutics, and toxicology including reproductive toxicology, cardiovascular risks, perioperative drug management, and psychopharmacology.
