Reproductive Research Center

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 (posted 09/24/09).
