Description

The National MS Society Undergraduate Summer Research Program, run by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, introduces undergraduate students to research connected to multiple sclerosis. The experience combines research and mentorship, helping participants explore their scientific interests and consider future directions in medicine and science.

Participants describe gaining a broader perspective on career possibilities and on communicating research for real-world impact. Their accounts also highlight growing interest in neurology and neuroscience, plans to pursue further MS-related laboratory work during undergraduate study, and mentor support in making connections relevant to medical-school goals.
