Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship Physician Scientist Program
The SUNY Upstate Medical University SURF Physician-Scientist Program is a special pathway and admissions option for the traditional Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF). This initiative is aimed at exposing a small number of undergraduates (about 2 per year) to the career path of a physician-scientist.
Consideration does not exclude you from the traditional SURF program.
Special Requirements: This program is specifically designed for those students interested in pursuing an MD/PhD, preference is given to those students that have face considerable adversity in their life path.
Prospective fellows will apply alongside traditional SURF students. Accepted fellows will be exposed to basic and translational science. Fellows will have the opportunity to fulfill clinical curiosity in weekly rounds with a MD/PhD clinical faculty. The remaining requirements and events are the same as their fellow SURF peers.
