Mentorship

A fellowship gives you the unique opportunity to work one-on-one with a seasoned mentor over an extended time. Whether you have extensive research experience or none at all, your mentor will meet you where you are — and challenge you to hone your experimental design and critical thinking skills.

Over the course of the year, you will

  • learn the ins and outs of research design
  • conduct your own research
  • receive individualized mentoring
  • collaborate with residents, postdocs, and other researchers
  • translate research findings into clinical insights
  • receive practical career advice from physician-scientists

“My mentors here are absolutely incredible. They’ve pushed me to become a better scientist and a better future doctor.” — Stephanie Hadley, Vanderbilt

Not only will you develop a strong relationship with your mentor, you’ll build a Community with leaders across the globe and Med Scholars closer to home.
