15 Undergraduate, Medical Students Join MIR Summer Research Program

Each summer, undergraduate and medical students from across the country are selected to participate in Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology’s Summer Research Program at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. This 10-week program introduces participants to a variety of current radiological research areas to expand upon their interest in the imaging sciences. Another pillar of the program is mentorship, so each student is paired with a faculty member to help hone their research and professional skillset.
