The Short-Term Training program supports summer research training experiences for medical students to work on individual research projects under the supervision of faculty members at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine. The mentors and research projects are drawn from a spectrum of disciplines in the environmental health sciences, including epidemiology, clinical occupational medicine, toxicology, and molecular biology. The goal of the program is to provide a broad learning context for participating medical students to enable the students to draw links between their specific research projects and related issues in clinical occupational medicine, toxicology, epidemiology, preventive medicine, and public policy, to encourage students to engage in critical thinking and assume responsibility in research projects, and to attract students to pursue careers in these areas. In addition to the research experience, students will attend a research seminar series, observe patient sessions at the Irving J. Selikoff Occupational Health Clinic Center, and visit a variety of worksites with potential environmental hazards.
