At Zucker School of Medicine, students have the opportunity to work with leading clinician-scientists in a variety of research settings throughout Northwell Health, Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.
Students may choose from basic, translational, and clinical research projects.
These research offerings range from singular touch points, such as summer research experiences between the first and second years of training and research blocks in the fourth year, to independent studies in which students take time off to conduct deeper, more sustained research.
Short-term and longitudinal investigations cover a variety of topics and issues in medicine, including (but not limited to):
