The UW Medicine Department of Neurological Surgery Summer Student Program provides “Bench to Bedside” exposure in the field of neurosciences. Their mission is to recruit and educate a wide spectrum of students from
diverse backgrounds, focusing on those under-represented in STEM
(Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), and broaden their knowledge
base in the field of biomedical research, including translational,
clinical and basic research; and to inspire students to pursue a career
in research, medicine or allied fields, especially in Neuroscience.
The 8-week Neurological Surgery Summer Student Program consists of a lab placement, attendance at Neurological Surgery
Grand Rounds, OR observations, Friday faculty talks,
and a final student presentation and graduation in front of
family, friends, and mentors.
