Rising junior and senior college students are invited to take advantage of a 8-week paid internship program. Students engage in interactive real-life learning covering the topics: Evaluation and management in the outpatient setting, intraoperative techniques, research design, data analysis, and medical presentations. As part of the internship, students work directly with staff surgeons where they gain hands-on experience related to daily issues as well as health policy concerns. They will have the opportunity to engage in research projects, which will reinforce students' research skills. Students have an opportunity to present their work to Departmental Grand Rounds at the end of the internship experience.
The fellowship is in the summers. For 2019 the start date is June 10, 2019. The official end is a minimum of 8 weeks after. Students are allowed to stay on if they want.
Each year the program pays for housing in Manhattan and offers a stipend on completion of the minimum 8-weeks.
You are assigned a new specialty at regular intervals. Through the summer, weekly there will be educational lectures aside from the observership. You will also be assigned a research project
