Research Internships

Science majors (typically biology or chemistry) who are formally affiliated with the pre-medical program may qualify for a full-time, full-credit biomedical research internship at a medical school or research institute in the United States or Europe during the junior or senior year. Those participating in the internship program acquire significant research experience that can represent a valuable credential in the professional school application process.
