Our Program
Mentorship Experience
Students are paired with a mentorship team for a six week experience at Children’s National where they are integrated into the team, collaborate on research, and build meaningful relationships.
Field Trips
DC is a hub of biomedical research. In past years, we have taken students to to the NIH, NLM, FDA, National Zoo, and CLASS Center at GWUSOM to see innovation in action.
Learning Experiences
Through shadowing and hands-on learning opportunities, students experience the inner workings of a top-ranked pediatric hospital, hear from doctors and academics at the forefront of the biomedical field, and build skills that support their future academic and career goals.
