Mentoring Careers
We foster the careers of undergraduate, graduate, and medical school students. More than half of the summer undergraduate students whom we have mentored have gone on to medical school. As evidence, several of our recent students published "The Impact of Surgical Research on Career Success A Forty-Year Follow-up of Undergraduate Experiences" in Annals of Surgery, which is a survey of students who worked at the Price Institute.We invite you to explore the many research opportunities offered at the Price Institute.
