BioMed SURF is a research-intensive summer training program in biomedical research for undergraduate students who are members of underrepresented minorities (URM) and plan to obtain a Ph.D. in the biomedical sciences.
The aims of BioMed SURF are: to identify URM applicants interested in biomedical research careers; to provide them with an intensive research and didactic experience in biomedicine during a 9-week residency at Yale University School of Medicine; and to provide faculty and peer mentoring resources that extend throughout and beyond the program.
The long-term goals of this program are to recruit URM students to careers in biomedical research and to provide them with knowledge, skills and resources to help them succeed as scientists or physician-scientists.
