Summer Science Program Class of 2008

Summer Science Program 2008

When asked what they did this summer, 14 college students will be able to give a detailed presentation and possibly an abstract or in-progress article in reply. These talented students participated in the Department of Pediatrics’ Summer Science Program at ACH.

The Summer Science Program is giving these outstanding upper level college students the experience of a career in academic medicine—in both the clinical and research aspects. These students spent their summer shadowing physicians, attending rounds and clinics, and touring different hospital units, as well as participating in a mentored research project involving children’s health. Faculty from various pediatric subspecialties have been teaching basic science and clinical research techniques and helping the students gain exposure to clinical medicine. vv
