2nd Annual WE Summit
The 2nd annual WE Summit took place on Saturday, October 14, 2023 and was attended by 90 students and 10 faculty. It was an excellent opportunity for medical students to find interesting and rewarding research mentorship. If you were unable
to attend or are still searching for a research match, below are our faculty and student ‘Want Ads’ to help connect. Follow the appropriate link and fill out the form.
Faculty, are you interested in being a research mentor for medical students? Do you have opportunities for medical students to participate in your current research? The UTMB Center of Excellence for Professional Advancement and Research (COEPAR) would
like to help match medical students to mentors and research opportunities. If you have an opportunity, please fill out the Faculty Mentor ‘Want Ads’ at this link: https://forms.office.com/r/DUfckALR41. We will help match students.
Students, let us help you find a research mentor; fill out the Student ‘Want Ads’ form: https://forms.office.com/r/08BvXhVWFv. If you did connect with a potential mentor or have a specific research mentor in mind, fill out the form, and we will help make the connection and be able to follow
