Shadowing Opportunities
Shadowing opportunities are available by contacting Tomiko Bondy
 
Research Opportunities

If you are interested in conducting research relevant to PM&R, contact Dr. Jacques Courseault for opportunities.

Additionally, students may want to pursue research opportunities through the DeBakey Scholars Program. This program offers medical students the opportunity to pursue and complete a longitudinal, structured, closely supervised research experience culminating in a capstone presentation prior to graduation. For more information, contact Dr. Derek Pociask.
