Every year the Institute offers opportunities for high school and college students to gain first hand experience of life in a real research laboratory and to make a valid contribution to projects at the forefront of scientific endeavor. This unique opportunity is open to qualifying individuals who aspire to a career in medicine as a scientist, physician, health care provider, or teacher and wish to confirm or reaffirm their career choice. The program runs for 10 weeks from June through August where students work on current research projects under the direction of the scientists, postdoctoral fellows, and research assistants culminating in a formal presentation of the individual's project. Stipends are paid to all participants. The size of the stipend is relatively small compared to the educational experience and potential future employment opportunities. |
