Medical Students

With research as a core component of our mission, Nationwide Children’s Hospital encourages medical students to pursue mentored research activities. Medical students may apply for research opportunities through The Ohio State University College of Medicine, with eight-week programs during their third year and four-week elective programs during their fourth year of medical school available at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Interested students should review our principal investigators’ profiles to identify researchers who may be conducting research of interest to them.
