The Summer Research and Clinical Assistantship (SRCA) is designed to pair UW medical students and UW-DFM faculty who have mutual interests in research. The goals of the program are:

1. Provide medical students with an early exposure to family medicine
2. Give students early exposure to clinical research and medicine in a variety of settings
3. Stimulate and support research by Wisconsin family physicians and DFM faculty.

The Selection Process:

All current first-year medical students will be informed about the SRCA. During the first week of March, these students will be invited to apply for assistantship positions. If spots remain available in April, students entering medical school in the fall will also be invited to participate. Student applicants will be asked to indicate which of the available projects they might find appealing. The names of student applicants and their preferences will be circulated among the faculty participants. Through an interview process, either in person or by phone, faculty and students will agree on matches for the summer.
