A record 92 medical students participated in the UNMC College of Medicine’s 2025 Medical Student Summer Research Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The paid, eight-week research opportunity is open to rising M2s who are interested in exploring a research project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt the conclusion of the MSSRP, medical students submit an abstract showcasing their work,\u201d said Kari Nelson, PhD, director of undergraduate medical education-research and enhanced medical education tracks for the college. \u201cWe had some exemplary projects by members of our most recent cohort. I\u2019d like to congratulate our participants, the students who submitted the top five abstracts and our dedicated faculty mentors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
