As a way of encouraging undergraduate students into research careers, the University of Otago, Wellington hosts the Summer Studentship Programme each year. The Department of Medicine has had a number of students this summer participating in 10 week research projects.
During the ten weeks students have had a broad introduction to research in a subject area of interest to them. On 2 February they were given the opportunity to present their findings to staff with the chance of winning new departmental prizes.
