First year medical students are invited to apply for an 8-week summer program offering hands-on research, exposure to clinical geriatrics, and mentoring by top aging experts! 

The University of Texas Medical Student Training in Aging Research (UT-MSTAR) is a new collaboration between UT Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSA), UT Health Houston (UTH), UT Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB Health), and UT Southwestern (UTSW).

The 8-week summer intensive program is intended for medical students moving between year 1 and year 2 of training. Students enrolled in the MSTAR program benefit from an enriching experience in aging-related research and clinical geriatrics with the mentorship of top experts in the field. The long-term goal of the program is to increase the number of established clinicians and physician investigators who pursue research in high-priority areas related to aging.
