Research Study Opportunity
My name is Morgan Powell and I am a 4th-year research assistant in the Laboratory for the study of Cognition, Action, and Perception of Speech. I would like to invite the students of the UF Pre-Health Listserv to participate in our speech production study. The purpose of this study is to investigate how people learn to articulate sequences of speech sounds. I have attached the recruitment flyer to this email which lists the inclusionary criteria.
Participating members are eligible to receive a payment of $20/hr. I would greatly appreciate it if you could share this information on the UF Pre-Health Listserv. Interested students can email me at uf.caps.lab@gmail.com.
Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences (GPiBS)
My name is Cole, and I am the coordinator for the Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences (GPiBS) on the OU Health Sciences Center campus. GPiBS is an interdisciplinary program offered through the Graduate College. GPiBS is the primary entry point for biomedical PhD students at OUHSC. Through this program, students can pursue their doctoral degree with one of our 150+ faculty mentors through one of seven departments: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Microbiology and Immunology, Neuroscience, Pathology, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or Physiology. Students will graduate with a PhD from one of the participating departments/programs to prepare them for careers in academic research, biotechnology, pharmaceutical industry, health management, teaching, and more. Our students complete their doctoral degrees in an average of 5.5 years and ultimately publish an average of 5.3 manuscripts with their mentors, setting them up for excellent post-doctoral fellowships or other employment opportunities.
The application portal for GPiBS is open now with a priority deadline of December 1st. The portal will remain open after the deadline; however, applications completed after December 1st are not guaranteed to be reviewed. If you have students interested in pursuing a PhD in the Biomedical Sciences, please encourage them to apply early. You can direct interested students to the GPiBS website or to us at GPIBS@ouhsc.edu for additional information or questions.
GPiBS highlights:
- Stipend - $30,000 (beginning July 1, 2022)
- Full tuition/fees waiver
- Health Insurance provided
- Three NIH T32 training grants (Immunology, Geroscience, Vision)
- >95 mentors seeking graduate students!
The Graduate College at the OU Health Sciences Center also hosts four summer undergraduate research programs aimed at preparing and encouraging undergraduate students to pursue careers in biomedical research or health-related sciences. Studies show undergraduate research programs are beneficial to the success of applying to and completing a graduate degree program. Our programs introduce outstanding undergraduate students to the rigorous academic preparation required to achieve these goals, through participation in intensive, full-time (40 hours/week), hands-on research experiences in the laboratories of OUHSC biomedical faculty mentors in Oklahoma City. SURP applications opened on November 1st with a deadline of January 31st, 2022. More information about our summer programs can be found at the SURP website or by contacting us at SURP@ouhsc.edu.
We would love to speak with students and faculty about our programs at OUHSC; please email us at gpibs@ouhsc.edu if you would like to arrange a date for a GPiBS/SURP talk.

Gap Year Opportunity with the National Health Corps
The National Health Corps is a nationwide service program devoted to fostering healthy communities by delivering health and wellness education, resources, and services to vulnerable and underserved communities. While serving the Northeast Florida community, members also have opportunities for professional development and real-world experience. Host sites are non-profits, including medical and dental clinics, pharmacies, public health organizations, and youth development programs. Members commit to 1700 hours of direct service over a 46-week period and receive a living stipend during the term of service. Following successful completion of the service term, members will receive an education award that can be used for loans and future education.
We still have openings for this current service term, which would be perfect for a student graduating this fall! Our applications for the 2022-2023 service term year will open next spring. While open to all majors and backgrounds, this program is particularly suited to individuals who are interested in a career in healthcare, and health-related fields, and are looking to gain service experience.

Live UF MCAT Classes + Black Friday Tuition Reductions
#1 - Altius @ the University of Florida
- Special Subsidized Tuition Pricing: In addition to early BF access, we can now offer you special school-wide pricing moving forward. This fall we've created similar pricing structures for other "partner" universities, and I'd love to bring you aboard.
- Significant Altius Fundraiser/Donation for the Pre-Med Club. We'd like to give back by being a fundraising or financial support resource for the pre-med club--assuming that is allowable under university policies.
- Additional Student Success Support: We have compelling data that "program completion" is the #1 predictor of higher MCAT scores among Altius students at UF. I'd like us to work together to help students be better prepared to focus on MCAT studies while they are in prep mode, and to motivate them to be more diligent in completing their assignments.
- Altius will give (1) FREE Full-Length MCAT Practice Exam to every UF pre-med testing this spring or summer.

The UFL Pre-Medical Student Council was established to enhance and simplify the pre-medical student experience at the University of Florida.

We look forward to collaborating with each other for community service, philanthropy, and professional development opportunities this semester. We are very excited to begin our recruitment processes and announce our upcoming meetings! We hope to help you find and join the student organization(s) that best align with your future goals.
In addition, the Council is looking to include all of UF pre-medical organizations to expand our community of collaborative pre-medical students. We meet monthly to keep each other updated on the inner-workings of each organization to maintain our sense of camaraderie. We also plan partnerships between organizations for general body meetings, socials, workshops, and more!
