Summer 2023 Internships

MD Anderson

Bryn Mawr College worked with senior leadership at MD Anderson to establish a formal partnership with the MD Anderson University Outreach Summer Program. MD Anderson has graciously offered two positions in this particular program for qualified Bryn Mawr College students.   

This is a competitive 10-week summer research program that is for students interested in pursuing a career in cancer research or medicine. The program provides research experiences in a broad range areas. Students who have completed at least two college-level STEM courses and who are in good academic standing are eligible to apply. Students who are considering pursuing an advanced degree (Ph.D., M.D. or both) and are interested in scientific investigation would benefit most from the program.

Students are matched with a mentor from MD Anderson’s research or clinical faculty. Participants work alongside the mentor in a lab or clinic on projects designed by faculty to reflect current research. Workshops and lectures provide opportunities to connect with faculty, residents, postdoctoral and clinical fellows, and other participants. Through the program, students assess goals related to careers in oncology research and patient care. The program culminates with a symposium in which participants present talks and posters on their research projects to peers and faculty.
