Johns Hopkins Summer Internship For High School Students
Have you ever wanted to get a first-hand look at what it’s like to work in the medical field? Do you want to know whether or not this is something you might be interested in pursuing as a career?
Johns Hopkins has just the opportunity for you: The Johns Hopkins Summer Internship for High School Students. It’s an eight-week program that gives high school students an opportunity to gain valuable experience in any one of nine different fields: Biomedical Engineering, Biology and Biochemistry, Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, Human Oncology and Pathogenesis, Human Population Genetics and Genomics, Medical Humanities and Bioethics, Neuroscience, or Social Work.
You’ll spend your summer working with real scientists from top universities around the world. You’ll also have the chance to meet with experts in your field of interest—and even shadow them on-site!
The program is open to high school students who are 16 years old or older as of June 30th of the year they are applying (you must also have either completed 9th grade or be enrolled in 10th grade).
