Diversity in Pharmacoepidemiology Summer Internship Program

The Division of Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacoeconomics at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) and Harvard Medical School (HMS) invites rising college senior students who self-identify as Black/African-American, Hispanic/LatinX, Native American/Alaskan Native, or Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander to participate in an eight-week summer internship program designed to provide training and skills development in public health research related to prescription medications. The program includes experiential and didactic learning in pharmacoepidemiology, with interns participating in division meetings, journal clubs, webinars, and guest presentations, culminating in a summer capstone project under faculty supervision. The long-term goal of the program is to assist students whose backgrounds have historically been underrepresented in biomedical and clinical research to build the necessary skills for careers in public health, medicine, and other related fields
