There are a variety of summer opportunities available for students. Programs are hosted by colleges and universities around the United States and the world and provide an intensive research experience on a particular topic within a scholarly discipline. For undergraduates with plans for graduate or professional school after MSU, summer research provides the opportunity to expand your professional network and acquire experience in an area of interest. GHI is working with Merida, Mexico and Trujillo, Peru professionals to give undergrad students the experience on first basis on research, and grad students to co-conduct a research on infectious disease and produce their papers with the support of Mexican-recognized institutions.

Annually, The American Osteopathic Association’s Bureau of International Osteopathic Medicine (BIOM) invites all US osteopathic medical students and osteopathic medical residents to participate in a global poster competition.
This abstract competition provides an opportunity for osteopathic medical students and residents to disseminate their global health research and narrative medicine experiences to a broad audience via a poster expo. All entries must be focused on the entrants’ experiences with global health and/or providing healthcare internationally.
The Abstract Competition includes a Poster Expo. All osteopathic medical students and osteopathic medical residents in the United States are eligible to enter the competition’s two categories:
Research Abstracts must be a clinical, basic science or health services study. The research category includes any project using quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods to collect evidence of or test a hypothesis about any aspect of global health. Research projects must have IRB approval.
The narrative medicine category allows for osteopathic medical students and residents to submit essays of creative nonfiction describing their experiences in global health. The competition invites participants to submit short nonfiction narratives about their global health outreach experiences.
Information about the 2025 abstract competition can be found on the American Osteopathic Association's website.
