Mission Statement:

The HEART MD-PhD Summer Program is a student-led, fully funded initiative designed to support undergraduate students exploring physician-scientist career paths. The program offers longitudinal mentorship, hands-on research experience, clinical exposure, professional development, and a supportive peer community. Through this comprehensive training, we aim to foster the qualities of research competence, empathy, curiosity, and leadership that are essential for the MD-PhD application process and physician-scientist careers.
