Summer Research Immersion Program (SRIP)

Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine's Summer Research Immersion Program (SRIP) is an eight-week program open to current first-year medical students at Geisinger Commonwealth who are in good academic standing. The program provides students the opportunity to gain hands-on research experience in basic science, clinical science, public/community health, behavioral health or medical education under the guidance of a research mentor. Participants are also offered supplemental seminars on study design, institutional review board (IRB) protocol development, scientific writing and other topics within research. The experience includes an educational stipend contingent upon fulfillment of program requirements. SRIP 2023 will run from June 5 – July 28, 2023.
