Summer Opportunity

Are you an undergraduate student who is
interested in learning more about what it means
to be a physician-scientist?

The UM-SMART program offers students an opportunity
to participate in biomedical research and gain exposure
to clinical medicine at Michigan Medicine, a highly ranked
academic medical center with top-10 funding from the
National Institutes of Health.

As a UM-SMART summer research fellow, you will work
full-time in a basic research laboratory under the mentorshi of a research faculty member. The UM-SMART program is designed to help you decide if a career as a physicianscientis is right for you and to enhance your competitiveness when applying to MD/PhD programs.

Did you know we have a listing of about 150 local volunteer opportunities on our website? Think outside of the box and don’t do what every other premed does. How about this?

Enroot was born as City Links, a collaboration between then Cambridge Community Services (CCS), Cambridge Office of Workforce Development (OWD), and Cambridge Public Schools in 1992 as an effort to address a particularly large influx of immigrants, primarily from Central America. 

VOLUNTEER POSITIONS:
Mentors meet 1:1 with their mentee 1-2 hours a week. The mentoring relationship lasts one academic year (October-June). Mentors help with language and communication skills, relationship building skills, postsecondary planning, career exploration, and more - every relationship is a little different. Mentors participate in 4-6 hours of training in the fall.

Tutors meet 1:1 with a student once a week to provide help with one or more academic subjects and/or test preparation. It's important for tutors to be able to commit to 1½ hours at the same time each week for an academic semester. Tutors participate in a two-hour training in the fall.

Researcher @ MIT/BIDMC

MIT/BIDMC researcher position on a project at the intersection of clinic research(specifically neuroscience, Alzheimer’s and dementia) and computer science (machine learning). A good candidate need not have experience in computer science, necessarily.

This would be a full time researcher position with the Data to AI Lab at MIT, working mostly over at Beth Israel, testing an app developed in the lab with patients at BIDMC.
 
This would be an exciting opportunity for a recent graduate looking for research experience on their way to medical school or advanced degrees in medical research.

Apply to be a Community Health Fellow with Project Horseshoe Farm, a non-profit organization that offers a unique gap year fellowship opportunity for students looking to gain hands-on experience in community healthcare, education, social work, and medicine. 

In addition to the unique 1 year "Gap Year" Fellowship, Horseshoe Farm offers 6-12 week internships for undergraduate, graduate, medical, and health professions students in fall, winter, spring, and summer, and a shorter, 3-4 week internship in January.
