DREAM Program

Office of the Dean
The Dean’s Research Excellence Award in Medicine (DREAM) scholarship program is designed for medical students interested in pursuing a physician-scientist career in academic medicine. The DREAM program integrates the Miller School’s exceptional preclinical and clinical research training with professional development opportunities to enhance the physician-scientist training experience. Students selected for the DREAM program will receive a scholarship to conduct independent research projects over a dedicated year, while having access to mentorship from leading experts in their fields.
