Women’s Health Research at Yale is an interdisciplinary research center based in the School of Medicine that initiates and supports studies on women’s health across medical and psychosocial disciplines. We also are committed to communicating information derived through research to both the medical/scientific community and the general public and training students in the conduct of interdisciplinary science.
We are offering mentored research training opportunities to Yale undergraduate students designed to enrich current studies and support developing interests in biomedical research focusing on sex/gender differences in health outcomes. These are unpaid fellowships.
Opportunities range from a mentored clinical research experience to policy and communication activities on varied health topics which align with student interests. Specific activities include directed readings, learning about ethical considerations in the conduct of human research, attending research seminars and laboratory meetings, shadowing research staff in the conduct of biomedical research on women’s health, evaluating scientific literature, and learning how to function as part of an interdisciplinary team.
