Summer Healthcare Experience in Oncology
Summer Healthcare Experience in Oncology is a virtual, multi-institutional program for high school students interested in science and medicine. Its mission is to empower talented youth from across the country to enter biomedical career pathways, specifically within the field of cancer.
Over the course of two weeks, Summer Healthcare Experience in Oncology trainees collaborate on a genetics-based research project, and a patient case study project, to explore key facets of cancer science and care. Trainees also participate in daily faculty lectures, panel discussions, and skill-building workshops to acquire knowledge and networks for their next steps on biomedical career pathways.
Summer Healthcare Experience in Oncology is funded by a Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences. Additional funding is provided by the American Cancer Society. Programming is delivered in part through a partnership with eCLOSE Institute.
