MED2028 MS in Physiology for MD Students Program Reminder

[Lori Ferguson]

Dear Students,



I am reaching out to remind you of the MS in Physiology for MD students program. The application for 2026 is now open in Slate.



This program provides an expedited track for SUNY Upstate medical students who wish to take a gap year from medical school following the STEP-1 exam to explore a research opportunity and earn a stand-alone master’s degree.



While the degree is offered through the Department of Physiology, your research can be done with faculty across Upstate, so you can work on a project that is of particular interest and relevance to your future medical career.



Please see the attached flyer summarizing the program.



Benefits:

  *   Gain significant research experience
  *   Add to your residency placement application (to include research)
  *   Take an important step to becoming a clinician scientist
  *   Contribute to important biomedical research
  *   Expand your horizons



Who should apply

  *   Students with a substantial prior research experience
  *   Students who are thinking of adding research to their clinical career



Participating students will have a tuition waiver and a stipend



The application will remain open until December 31.



To learn more and/or to confirm your intention to apply, reach out to me, Dr. Voura via email:

Thank you!
