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. |
