Abstract

A 12 weeks summer research training program for undergraduate students focused on understanding of digital mammography, medical imaging and breast cancers. Recruitment of program participants was recruited through poster distribution to more than 100 college campuses. Selection of program participants applications were evaluated based on 1. letter of recommendation 2. transcript of grades 3. 500-word essay stating why you want to attend Moffitt's Summer training Program. 113 students applied and 46 of them completed the above 3 steps and finally only 6 of the students have been accepted for the training program each year.
