Additional Notes: |
Undergraduates who intend to attend
medical school with plans to pursue careers in medicine and
research but who may not choose to pursue formal graduate (i.e. Ph.D.)
training should apply to the
UT Southwestern Undergraduate Medical Research Fellows Program, not
the SURF program. All questions regarding UT-SUMR should be addressed to
the UT-SUMR program, as this program is separate from the SURF program.
You can reach the UT- SUMR office by calling (214) 648-3685 or by mail
