**Position description**

The Biomedical Ethics Research Program at Mayo Clinic seeks GREP applicants for a post-baccalaureate research experience in empirical bioethics research. Students will participate in educational activities and conduct bioethics research in a mentored environment.

In addition to conducting bioethics research, GREP students are eligible to take graduate-level courses through the Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and shadow clinicians in nearly every area of the clinic.

Following this program, past GREP students matriculated into top medical and laws schools throughout the U.S.

4. Current unofficial college transcript

5. Two letters of recommendation from research mentors or undergraduate professors (addressed to Dr. Richard Sharp, Program Director). Letters should be emailed directly by the professor/mentor to bioethics@mayo.edu
