One last bump before I let this thread fade!

Added a program future doc recommended so I thought I'd give this a bump too.

Very few places take people who have graduated and are basically at 4th year summer. Though if youre taking a year off you probably want more than a summer commitment so you might be better off looking elsewhere. Definitely though I recall seeing at least a couple that take people who just graduated so if you look you may be able to find them.

I know the opportunities for Canadian's are not as accessible and well known as they should be so I thought I would share the list I compiled last year when I was applying towards international research opportunities. Below are the programs I myself specifically looked into and know Canadian’s are accepted and compiled some information about (whether or not there is extra info included below the link is completely random depending on if it was easy to copy and paste at the time). I applied to the majority of them I'd say. I ordered them by due date (at least for last year). I remember absolutely scouring all corners of the internet but there might be some out there that accept Canadians that I missed or chose not to take note of myself because I wasn't interested Also look at these sites if you have the time, they are largely geared towards US citizens but some accept Canadian’s. No good way to discern upfront though, you have to go to each link individually and look under eligibility. Best of luck! If you have any questions you can always pm me, though I might not respond that quickly. http://people.rit.edu/gtfsbi/Symp/premed.htm http://www.premednetwork.com/forum Dec 6th http://www.daad.de/rise/en/ Application: Online Transcript: Hard Scanned CV: Yes LOR: 2 Register Online Essays: General Cover letter Compensation: All scholarship holders receive stipends from the DAAD to help cover living expenses, while partner universities and research institutes provide housing Jan 14th http://www.hhmi.org/janelia/undergrad.html Application: Online Transcript: Soft CV: Yes LOR: 2 Register Online Essays: A brief description of your research interest.
