David Mersy, M.D. Medical Student Externship

The goal of the Externship Program is to stimulate interest in family medicine and practice-based research. The program brings medical students into family medicine settings to assist with clinical research for six to eight weeks. Students receive a $2000 stipend; mentoring physicians receive $500 to cover expenses.

Requests for Externship Projects go out to Minnesota medical students in December. The application/request is due at the MAFP Foundation office by end of February. Three Externship awards are selected by March 1, and financial stipends distributed by the first week in May.
