This program is intended for medical students in good standing in their programs and interested in building on their experience in radiation oncology research. Students will learn innovative technologies used in clinical research, medical physics, and discovery research in cancer biology.
We specifically encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds and underrepresented minorities, as well as students interested in Global Health. The number of fellowships is limited, and admission is highly competitive. All applicants must be eligible to work in the United States and have working authorization.
The in-person portion of the program will span 12 weeks. Applicants unable to commit to a full 12-week period will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Key features of the program are:
- A mentored 12-week hands-on research experience through a co-op mentored by world-class cancer researchers and clinicians at Johns Hopkins and collaborators.
- The training will help expand the trainee’s research skills, sharpen critical thinking, and develop practical team participation and collaboration skills.
- The aim is to facilitate trainees’ abilities to conduct independent research and publish or present their work at CaREER workshops and other conferences.
- Year-round complementary didactic CaREER program activities with research seminars and workshops for students. Seminars will focus on radiotherapy research areas, responsible conduct of research, research design, leadership, and cross-cultural communication.
- Meanwhile, annual CaREER workshops will focus on knowledge/experience sharing, research posters, oral presentations by trainees, and networking opportunities.
