The Summer Oncology Research Fellowship Program for students in health science fields, which has been sponsored by CHLA and USC for over 30 years, is once again being offered for the Summer of 2008. Fellowships have traditionally been awarded to students from universities and medical schools throughout the United States. Prior candidates have been exceptional students. They have actively participated in clinical or laboratory research studies during their fellowship, and some have authored or co-authored peer reviewed publications as well as presented their work at major national and international scientific meetings. Many have gone on to academic medical careers.

This program is intended to provide the highest quality experience for first-year medical school students pursuing interests in oncology research. While the program has traditionally been designed for those students who have completed their first year of medical school, highly qualified undergraduates majoring in the health science fields have been considered. Faculty mentors are located both at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles and at the USC Keck School of Medicine.

Thank you for supporting this program.
