Third Year Internships
[Current 2000 Internships]
This summer there are 26 students in internships spread around the Triangle area. Nine were learning various aspects of computers and business while at IBM, which has been supportive of the interns for several years. Another strong supporter, Duke Medical Center, has often accepted Summer Institute students in the areas of biomedical engineering, embryology, infectious diseases, and other areas. Students create resumes their Second Year in order to be placed in the internship, which every effort is made to match them with their interests. Several students have shown an interest in forensic science, and were placed at the Durham and Chapel Hill Police stations.
Moreover, the Summer Institute does not limit students in their choice of field to just the traditional sciences and mathematics. Instead of just shadowing a doctor, some students interested in Pediatrics have learned about small children while interning at a preschool
