Summer 2021

The Multidisciplinary Summer Research Education Program for Health Professional Trainees is please to present the 2021 Participants.

The Multidisciplinary Summer Research Education Program for Health Professional Trainees is a NIH-funded research/education program sponsored by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI). This program is intended for highly motivated students at New Jersey Medical School, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, School of Dental Medicine and School of Health Profession interested in pursuing a career as a clinician scientist.

In this initial cohort, ten students from across the four schools participated in research in areas related to cardiology, pulmonology or hematology with faculty mentors with active, nationally recognized research programs. Numerous papers are in preparation based on this research, with multiple oral presentations accepted for prior or upcoming meetings. The participants are all to be commended.

In addition to their research experience, students continue to be involved in career development enrichment activities to foster their goals along the clinician scientist track. The training allows for a life-long commitment to scientific research, as well as to train the next generation of health professionals.

Highlights of the summer also included discussions with acclaimed clinician scientists across the country and a trip to Jansen Pharmaceuticals, where the students had the opportunity to learn about alternative clinician scientist career tracks.

We look forward to continued involvement in all our students’ growth as they continue their pursuits as the next generation of clinician scientists,
