Most summer programs target under-represented minority students
at three academic levels:
- high school students
- college students planning to apply to schools of medicine,
dentistry, podiatry or optometry, who need to enhance their
basic study skills or gain exposure to the specific field
of interest, and
- graduate students.
The programs listed below are for college students.
ATTENTION
To make it easier to research we have listed the
programs by state. Each description contains the name of the
program, appropriate dates, deadlines, eligibility requirements
and the program representative. Many summer programs have a life contingent on available
funds and the needs of the particular profession.
Syracuse University students can obtain further information
for some of the programs from the Health Professions Resource
Center, Syracuse University, Room 313 Hall of Languages.
Remember there is a wide variety of opportunities and,
although many of the programs are designated for under-represented
minorities, if others have a keen interest in a particular
program, they should apply; anyone might be admitted if
the program has space available. Also, read bulletin boards
all around campus.
If you are looking for internships or research opportunities
in a specific location, contact hospitals and research institutions—there
may be internships that are not advertised (ask an HPAP
staff member about the CareerSearch database). Caveat:
before calling, think about your knowledge of science and
areas of interest; be prepared to discuss them. You should
also regularly read the Sunday edition of a major newspaper
(probably available on-line) of the locale in which you
are interested. Read the classified ads and search for key
words: research, biology, hospitals... use your imagination.
Network with your parents, aunts, uncles and friends. And
remember, few institutions offer paid summer internships/jobs
in research.

Additional organizations and agencies
offering student summer opportunities
International programs :
Summer Camps for Children:
Internships:
AMSA's Health Policy Internships
AMSA's Health Policy Internships are a great opportunity for students interested in persuing a carreer in medicine or public health to build leadership skills through political advocacy and research while challenging power over racial and economic challenges that leave most of the world (and many Americans) without access to healthcare. Internships for March through Early June are 4-12 weeks in length with flexible dates. Academic credit for electives often can be arranged with your home institution.
Syracuse Research Corporation
SRC's philosophy is to offer "hands-on" challenging assignments to top engineering students, providing a chance to excel in specific areas of interest. SRC also offers a friendly work environment that helps increase student's skills with support and mentoring from experienced engineers
Center
for Career Services (CCS) at Syracuse University maintains listings of internships throughout the nation: students.syr.edu/careerservices/undergrad/internships
Internships - USA: http://www.internships-usa.com/
This site provides summaries
and links to internships in many fields including sports,
corporate America, communications, human services, social
change/human rights, politics, the environment, and more.
At this site, click on the link that reads "The Internship
Series Online" and when asked for login information,
use intern04 for the user name and job for
the password.
An excellent resource for helping students to prepare
for or reflect on experiences involving direct patient
contact is the book: Health Professional and Patient
Interaction, by Ruth B. Purtilo and Amy Haddad. For
more books for students interested in the health professions
