Very happy to be launching another year of ASSURE. The summer program itself is great, but the ongoing mentoring relationships with our past fellows and seeing their careers taking shape is the absolute best. Here are some brief comments from some program alumni.
Curious what the Anesthesiology Summer Research (ASSURE) Fellowship is all about? Hear directly from fellows about their summer research experience & apply now for Summer 2026! youtube.com/watch?v=YXS5XIvx…

For students who have not been able to participate in research previously, this is a great opportunity to gain critical experience and mentoring in biomedical research. That experience can open doors - just ask our program alumni.
Applications are OPEN for the 2026 Anesthesiology Summer Research (ASSURE) Fellowship! #STL metro undergrads & recent grads spend the summer doing hands-on research, clinical shadowing & professional development — no experience required. assure.wustl.edu

We acknowledge and greatly appreciate support from the National Institutes of Health for funding not only this work but also decades of foundational forming the knowledge base that enabled these recent advances. Without NIH funding this wouldn't have happened
