The UMR Undergraduate Research Club collaborates with Mayo Clinic Graduate Students to provide an opportunity for current UMR students to connect with students pursuing research as a career.
Overview
The UMR Undergraduate Research Club mentorship program offers an opportunity for one-on-one mentorship that is centered around an interest in research. Whether UMR undergraduates are curious about research or are planning to pursue a Ph.D. or MD-Ph.D. in their future, this experience connects undergraduate students with graduate research students so students can foster their interest.
