2011 AAPM Summer Undergraduate Research Program
The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) Summer Undergraduate Fellowship is a program designed to provide opportunities for undergraduate university students to gain exposure to and experience in medical physics by performing research in a medical physics laboratory or assisting with clinical service at a clinical facility. Each fellow will have a mentor, who is a faculty medical physicist in a university environment or a qualified medical physicist.
The program is aimed at junior and senior undergraduate students, particularly those that will become qualified for future graduate studies in medical physics. This includes students who have declared a major or are eligible to declare a major in physics, engineering, or other science, which requires mathematics at least through differential equations, modern physics/quantum mechanics, electricity and magnetism or equivalent courses in engineering sciences.
We expect there to be (5) summer undergraduate fellowships, each carrying a $4,000 stipend. The fellowship will be for a period of 10 weeks during the summer academic period (May to September), which is mutually suitable to the mentor and fellow.
