Medical Student Anesthesia Research Fellowship Summer Program

Purpose
With the aim to expand and develop scientific talent in academic anesthesiology, the Foundation for Anesthesia Education and Research (FAER) offers fellowships to medical students who have an interest in research and anesthesiology.

FAER’s Medical Student Anesthesia Research Fellowship (MSARF) program provides funding to support medical students to spend a summer focusing on anesthesiology research, training in scientific methods and techniques, and learning how to incorporate research into a medical career.
Details

The summer fellowship provides medical students in their first, second or third year with an eight-week research experience within an academic anesthesiology department. During the fellowship, with a dedicated mentor, students participate in research and training activities, as well as clinical anesthesia activities. In addition, medical student summer fellows have the opportunity to make a scientific presentation at the American Society of Anesthesiologists annual meeting, ANESTHESIOLOGY 2023.
