HOUSTON METHODIST SUMMER UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH INTERNSHIP

The Houston Methodist Academic Institute offers an unparalleled 10-week paid summer internship program offering interns an extraordinary opportunity to collaborate with renowned research experts. Interns are partnered with Houston Methodist leading faculty in translational research. Interns are responsible for working on their own scientific research project. At the conclusion of the internship, interns present their findings and compete in a poster presentation competition. Throughout the internship, students  attend weekly seminars focused on career growth and professional advancement. Additionally, interns have the opportunity to engage in didactic lectures delivered by leading scientists and physician researchers from Houston Methodist.

Interns receive assistance and mentorship from leaders in their designated labs. They also acquire valuable professional exposure through a range of networking opportunities, leaving each student with a unique internship experience. Additionally, interns engage in diverse social activities that contribute to a comprehensive and enriching summer encounter. Some interns, in collaboration with their mentors, have the chance to publish their work.

The Brown Foundation, in partnership with the Houston Methodist Academic Institute, is annually guaranteed 30% of the Houston Methodist Summer Undergraduate Research Internship slots for Brown Scholar interns admitted to EnMed through the E2EnMed Early Assurance program and select science students (assuming availability).
