The past year has seen a lot of success by URI interns. We now have 13 URI grads in health professional schools and are so proud of them, with 8 applying to medical school this year. URI mentoring continues on beyond the URI summer program and into medical school, as some of our URI grads come back to us the summer after their first year in medical school to do another research project at UCSF. We also have several URI grads working at UCSF and Stanford in clinical research during their gap years before applying to medical school.
