Summer Opportunity: Emory Transplant Internship

Emory Summer Transplant Internship 

The Emory Transplant Center is pleased to announce the return of our popular summer transplant internship in 2025. This internship is a phenomenal opportunity for pre-med college students to gain exposure to the fascinating field of organ transplantation. The program offers 8-10 undergraduate students the opportunity to shadow transplant surgeons, nephrologists, and hepatologists as they care for patients with end-stage renal and/or liver disease. Interns will enjoy a comprehensive exposure to all facets of transplant care by observing patients in the clinic, hospital, and operating room.  Students will have the opportunity to observe kidney, liver, and pancreas transplant surgeries, including living donor kidney operations. Additionally, participants will visit the LifeLink of Georgia Organ Recovery Center where many organ procurements take place. They will also visit the histocompatibility labs to learn how organs are matched to recipients.  

 

When:  Two iterations of the program will be offered: from July 7 – July 18, 2025 and from July 21 – August 1, 2025. We will do our best to assign successful applicants to the dates of their choice, if possible. There will be no expected weekend or overnight responsibilities, although students may be offered the opportunity to observe organ procurement operations during these times, if they so desire.  

 

Eligibility: Due to the growing popularity of the program, we will only consider undergraduate students currently in their 3rd (junior) or 4th (senior) years.

  

Application deadline:  The deadline to be considered for the program is April 18, 2025.  To apply, please send your CV (including current GPA) to the course director, Dr. Octav Cristea (octav.cristea@emoryhealthcare.org).  Please include the phrase “Emory Summer Transplant Internship” in the subject line so that your application will be appropriately filtered and sorted. Please indicate your graduation year in the body of the email, and do not send in multiple applications. Successful candidates will be notified in early May. We regret that no housing, transportation, or stipend can be provided by the program.  

  

Questions?  Please contact program administrator Vicky Webb (vwebb@emory.edu) or Dr. Octav Cristea (octav.cristea@emoryhealthcare.org), course director and transplant surgeon at Emory.
