The Center for Excellence in Youth Education at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is pleased to announce the opening of our 2020 Summer Program Application! This summer, we will offer a hands-on, project-based research course for current 9th, 10th, and Y1 students interested in exploring Genetics & Genomics with Drosophila (fruit flies) as an animal model. In addition, current 11th grade students are eligible for our Clinical Hospital Placement Internship program, which enables students to explore careers by way of daily shadowing experiences under physicians and other healthcare professionals. The application and descriptions are also posted on our website. More specific directions related to the application process, FAQs, requirements and eligibility can be found on our website and here.
