The 2019 INSIGHT Summer Research Program has opened applications from undergraduate, graduate and first-year medical students looking for a hands-on, paid summer internship with injury research.
INSIGHT is an intensive eight-week program at Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center in Seattle, Washington with a focus on developing the next generation of injury researchers. Participants work with faculty mentors on a research project throughout the program, and projects in the past have covered a broad array of injury topics, including pediatrics. The summer culminates with a competitive research poster session where participants present their findings to physicians, researchers, medical professionals and members of the public. Participants also receive a stipend.
In addition to training and experience in research, the program includes clinical shadowing experiences, academic workshops, professional seminars, injury research presentations and field trips to some of the many medical facilities and resources in the Seattle area. Located on the Harborview Medical Center campus, the program brings participants together with top researchers in injury control and prevention.
