Research Internships
We occasionally offer research internships to college students or those who have recently graduated from college and are looking for a research experience before medical school.
Please note, research internship positions are not offered for Summer 2012.
There are two types of experiences:
Basic science internship
This internship focuses on research in the animal lab with Stephen A. Zderic, MD. The type of projects available will vary depending on the current status of Dr. Zderic's research, but in all cases, work with the animals will be included.
Clinical research internship
This program is coordinated by Aileen P. Schast, PhD. These projects involve the collection and analysis of patient-related data that are typically obtained through chart review.
Application information
If you are interested in pursuing a research internship with us, please contact Dr. Schast at schast@email.chop.edu and include the following information:
- A statement regarding the type of experience in which you are interested
