Our students work on the Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) campus in departments ranging from radiology, transport, materials management, research labs and more. The program is a paid 7-week, 30 hour-per-week job experience focused on professional development, healthcare career exposure and exploration, community health, and health equity.
"Working at the Pathology Department was an amazing experience for me, and a great way to start an interest in clinical research and laboratory science. I was able to learn so much from Blood Typing, Staining Parasites, and doing Smears. It was an invaluable experience I will draw upon and solidified my interest in science and medicine."
