The Summer Residential Program bolsters student’s science skills while introducing them to a host of health-related careers. In order to be eligible, students must be able to attend the entire duration of the program seven days per week. Students live in a residence house on the Stanford campus for the entirety of the program, and family members are invited to visit each Sunday for a scheduled period of time. Highlights include:
* a full scholarship;
* an intense and rewarding educational experience;
* staff members who work with each student’s innate talents to broaden understanding of the basic sciences, health and social sciences;
* an opportunity to attend lectures given by Stanford University professors, medical professionals and staff members;
* an opportunity to participate in writing seminars, and anatomy and pathology laboratory workshops;
* a hospital internship two days per week at the Stanford Health Care hospital;
* a mentor who is a Stanford medical student, graduate student, or science and health professional;
* opportunities to develop leadership skills to be effective leaders and role models in their schools and communities;
* opportunities to develop important friendships; living, eating, and working with other students for five weeks is a great way to get to know people really well.
