Overview:
The Einstein-Montefiore Summer High School Research Program (EMHS) is a program designed to introduce high school students who are passionate about Science, but may not have much foundational knowledge or opportunities, to the world of scientific research, particularly in the fields of medicine and biomedical sciences. Participants engage in hands-on research projects, working closely with experienced mentors to conduct experiments and contribute to ongoing research. The program includes educational workshops, seminars, and networking opportunities, fostering a community of aspiring researchers. Culminating events such as research presentations allow students to showcase their findings, and the program aims to inspire and inform participants about diverse career paths in the scientific and medical domains. EMHS provides a unique opportunity for students to gain valuable skills, insights, and connections in the dynamic field of biomedical research.
What to Expect:
Following Orientation where you will learn about the cutting-edge research of Einstein's Principal Investigators and participate in training activities, which will allow you to fully participate in a research laboratory, you will be assigned to a lab in which a graduate student or post-doc will mentor you. You will work in this lab for the entirety of the 4 weeks learning research techniques and gaining knowledge of the field. There will be special activities, such as faculty seminars. These activities will be an opportunity to learn more about a career in the field of Medicine. On the last day of the program, you will present your work in a Poster Session.
