The University of Cincinnati College of Medicine is hosting two summer camps for pre-medical students. These programs are meant for pre-meds wanting an intense experience that is both intellectual and experiential.
More information can be found on the web sites: Summer Surgery Experience by clicking on the links. Summer Neuroscience Experience .
These programs have been created with the serious pre-med in mind. There are stimulating lectures, hands-on activities, and physician shadowing during the two weeks. They include a session with the Assistant Dean for Admissions about applying to medical school. The program is unable to offer tuition assistance at this time.
The Research Associates (RA) Program brings college students into the emergency department as part of clinical research studies at St. Vincent’s Medical Center in Bridgeport, CT. Positions are available for the summer session, 2008.
Due to the demand, they have instituted a “first-come, first-serve” policy. Acceptances into the program will depend primarily on the date we receive a completed application and program tuition. Those applications received after the available positions are filled will be placed on a wait-list should there be cancellations.
The eighth annual summer course in Human Anatomy for Undergraduates will be offered by the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine this year. The course will run for four weeks in June, 2008, on the Medical School campus in Baltimore, and will include both lectures and demonstrations using human cadavers. Applications will be accepted from all currently enrolled undergraduates who have completed their sophomore year of college. Total tuition for the course will be $3700. All course materials, including the textbook and an atlas, are included in the tuition. Four (4) academic credits will be awarded upon successful completion of the course. Accommodations are available on the main undergraduate campus of Johns Hopkins University. A completed application form, a non-refundable application fee of $50, and supporting materials (college transcript, letter of recommendation from an academic advisor) are due by March 15, 2008. Successful applicants will be notified by April 1, with full tuition due by May 1. More course details, including a downloadable application form, can be found here.

New Student Programs has announced the Orientation Aide recruitment process for summer 2008. We are looking for students who are motivated and excited about UB that would enjoy welcoming new students and their families to the UB community. During New Student Orientation (July 7 – August 1, 2007), the Orientation Aides play an integral role by serving as mentors and sharing their experiences as successful students. In addition, they work closely with faculty and staff on campus to implement orientation.
We offer paid employment for New Student Orientation Aides with several other benefits. The details, application, and important dates are posted on our website.
In addition, we have Parent Orientation Aide positions available. For more information, please contact Toby Shapiro at 645-6125 or tshapiro@buffalo.edu.
This summer, the Departments of Environmental Health Sciences, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Genetics, Medicine, Microbiology, Pathology, Physiology and Biophysics, and Pharmacology and Toxicology and the Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham are sponsoring an 8-week program in which selected undergraduate students will conduct laboratory research under the guidance of individual UAB faculty members. Students will also have the opportunity to shadow a physician-scientist during their daily clinical work. Recipients of this competitive fellowship receive a stipend of $2,000 for the summer. Students will receive free on campus housing, but will be responsible for their own meals, travel to and from Birmingham, and other expenses. The program dates will be June 2, 2008 - July 25, 2008.
We expect applicants to SIBS to have completed at least their sophomore year of undergraduate coursework. We anticipate that successful candidates will typically demonstrate grade point averages of 3.0 or higher, especially in science, math and related areas. Our goal in offering this fellowship is to give talented students the opportunity to experience the challenges and rewards of intensive, hypothesis-driven laboratory research. This experience should help students make well informed decisions about future career plans. Previous research experience is not required.
Students can learn more about SIBS and obtain the Application Form online or by contacting our SIBS coordinator, Cynthia Ballinger, at cknight@uab.edu.
If you are considering international volunteer/service opportunities, please review this list as well as previous lists posted on this blog under Health Relevant Experience. You can just click on the words to access the links.
