Osler's Summer Student Research Program (SSRP) provides students the opportunity to gain research experience in a community hospital setting working with passionate researchers across many different disciplines.

Each year, we accept students into our SSRP with the goal of matching student qualifications to potential projects. This year, it is our pleasure to announce that five positions are being supported by the Office of the Vice President of Research and Innovation at Toronto Metropolitan University.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, the student must be fully vaccinated (COVID-19) to be considered for the program.

Why participate in SSRP?

SSRP is a unique opportunity for students to gain valuable experience in a clinical setting. Students will be responsible for much of the research work on their own while having an Osler clinician as their supervisor. There is also a chance to interact with patients directly and to observe the daily functions of a clinical environment.

Program highlights
