Each year, the Taranaki Medical Foundation Summer Research Scholarship Programme connects Taranaki medical students with experienced clinicians to undertake supervised research projects over the summer break.

​

The programme provides students with valuable research experience, mentorship, and clinical exposure, while supporting projects that may contribute to service improvement, quality assurance, clinical practice, education, or future publication.

​

We welcome project proposals from senior clinicians interested in supervising a medical student during the summer.

​

Applications

Project proposals are open from 1 June to 31 July each year.
