The Health Educational
Research Opportunities
(HERO) program, sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, provides
10-week summer research experiences for undergraduate students and first-year medical or dental students. The goal of

The Research Division of
Trauma Surgery in the
Department of Surgery announces research opportunities in the area of injury and violence. This area includes preventive strategies, diagnosis and management of traumatic injury or violencerelated injuries (e.g., domestic abuse, gang/gun warfare, sexual abuse, sports related injuries, substance abuse).
Students will have an opportunity to participate in inpatient violence consults and design a research project and clinical exposure to suit their interests. http://www.healthdisparities.vcu.edu/?id=1342&sid=10
