Summer Scholars Immersion in Gerontology and Geriatrics

The Summer Scholars Immersion in Gerontology and Geriatrics (SSIGG) was created to offer current OUHSC students a paid, ten-week, intensive, summer experience in several aspects of aging research, education, and clinical service.

The Summer Scholars experience includes:

aging-related research
clinical shadowing
case-based learning sessions
didactic sessions
self-learning
program evaluation exercises
interdisciplinary engagement
Geriatric Medicine faculty mentorship

The program encourages students to consider career paths in clinical geriatrics and/or aging research. Selected students may work with one or more OUHSC faculty on specific projects, predominantly clinical and health-services related. Summer Scholars are valued as responsible peers. Prior experience in research is not a requirement.
