This experiential program selects students to shadow a Rheumatologist (CRA member) in a clinical setting.
CRAF Research Studentship
May-August 6-12 weeks Application | Guidelines
The CRAF offers a research-based Summer Studentship (supported by CRA, pending external funding, to be confirmed in late April 2024) designed to introduce Canadian students (citizens or permanent residents) registered in a medical school, to the sub-specialty of rheumatology. The program entails connecting a student with a CRA member for a rheumatology-based research project. These research projects must enable participating students to make a significant contribution over the course of the summer.
Notes:
All applicants must complete the Acknowledgement of Medical School form.
Insurance Requirement: Medical malpractice insurance is strictly required for ALL summer students. The CRAF is not responsible for the cost of obtaining such coverage. Most educational institutions provide this insurance, however if this is not available (i.e. if applicant attends a foreign medical school), it is the responsibility of the summer student to obtain.
Equal & Inclusive Employment: The CRAF is committed to the fundamental principles of equal and inclusive opportunities in employment. The CRAF is committed to ensuring that the recruitment and selection of all employees is fair, open and transparent; will comply with all relevant legislative requirements and will be free from any bias and/or discrimination. This policy applies to all aspects of employment, including recruitment, hiring, placement, promotion, transfer, compensation, training, education and summer studentship programs.
The CRAF reserves the right to cancel this or any program without prior notice.
