The internship provides a unique opportunity to work on collaborative research projects under the supervision of major names in Sports Medicine and gain hands-on experience in applied epidemiology.
The Research Institute of Sport & Exercise (RISE) Summer Research Internship offers professional healthcare students a challenging 12-week (flexible) opportunity to engage in collaborative research. Under the mentorship of leading sports medicine researchers, interns gain hands-on experience in preventive medicine, public health, and applied epidemiology. The program focuses on areas such as injury surveillance, epidemiology, and data analysis. Students will have the chance to be involved in original research projects, present their findings at an informal symposium, and participate in seminars covering career development, resume building, introductory statistics, epidemiology, science ethics, and sports medicine and injury prevention. Shadowing opportunities at collaborative institutions and participation in data collection at major events and in-field programs are also part of the experience. This internship is ideal for first-year medical, dental, physician assistant, or physical therapy students interested in orthopedics, sports medicine, preventive medicine, or applied epidemiology.
A typical day involves conducting hands-on research projects under the guidance of a mentor, participating in seminars on topics like career development and scientific ethics, and potentially shadowing professionals at affiliated institutions or collecting data in the field.
This program is best for first-year medical, dental, physician assistant, or physical therapy students who are interested in research and considering a specialization in orthopedics, sports medicine, preventive medicine, or applied epidemiology.
