The
Reproductive Research Center at Cleveland Clinic has an exciting summer
internship opportunity for highly motivated, academically oriented medical
or undergrad students interested in a career in medicine. The Reproductive
Research Center is a joint research program of Glickman Urological and Kidney
Institute and the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The Reproductive
Research Center summer internship offers students interested in research in
human fertility and reproductive biology an opportunity to work with world-renowned
scientists and researchers in the field. The program’s goal is to encourage
students to consider a career in medicine, whether in the reproductive sciences
or another specialty of their choosing. To this end, we have designed the
summer internship to offer students a wide range of high quality experiences
during an eight- to 12-week program. Information and details about the program
and available opportunities can be found on our website: www.ClevelandClinic.org/ReproductiveResearchCenter

This program is open to first-, second-, and third-year medical and dental
students who are interested in pursuing careers in biomedical research. The
goal of this program is to match the research interests of the student with
a laboratory where those interests might
be pursued. The program is designed to provide training in research procedures
and principles of independent investigation. Participants will work with senior
research scientists located at the Clinical Center, NIH's 240-bed research
hospital located in Bethesda, MD; other laboratory facilities on or near the
campus; the Addiction Research Center and the Gerontology Research Center
in Baltimore, or the Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, Montana. In
addition to the laboratory experience, students may attend grand rounds, lectures,
and seminars to enhance their educational experience. Students are also encouraged
to participate in the annual Poster Day for summer interns. The program runs
for a minimum of eight weeks, usually from late May to the end of August;
some flexibility exists to accommodate individual student needs.
