LIFT Research Fellowship: Paid Urology Research Opportunity
It is my pleasure to announce an exciting opportunity through the Department of Urology at UC
Irvine School of Medicine ideal for medical students after their third year.
We are now accepting applications for the 2016-2017 Joseph & Carol Reich Leadership and
Innovation Fellowship Training (LIFT) Program in Urology at UC Irvine School of Medicine.
This intensive one-year program provides unmatched training and experience in
urologic research. Through basic science, translational, and clinical research LIFT fellows will
gain a broad understanding of urology and will have the opportunity to contribute to the body of
knowledge that drives diagnostic and therapeutic options forward.
Involvement provides students with access to valuable department resources including faculty
support and mentorship, laboratory space, and funding opportunities. There is a huge variety of
ongoing projects available and even more waiting to be initiated. The department has an
excellent track record of carrying out award-winning research projects and receiving national and
international recognition at several urology conferences including the annual meeting of the
AUA.

application materials as soon as possible.
