High School

Several efforts are underway that provide opportunities for high school students to gain exposure to clinical and translational research. SCCTER will expand upon several successful high school programs, including:

Stanford Medical Youth Science Program

The Stanford Medical Youth Science Program is a very successful and innovative biomedical pipeline program that recruits 24 extremely low-income high school students from Northern California each summer for a five-week, University-based experience involving hypothesis-driven research, hospital internships or clinical shadowing, and college/career guidance.

Center for Clinical Immunology

The Center for Clinical Immunology summer intern program recruits an ethnically diverse group of 25 high school students from Santa Clara County, CA, and pairs them with scientists and 30 to 35 graduate students and fellows for eight weeks to conduct research in Stanford’s clinical immunology laboratories.

Stanford at the Tech

The Stanford at the Tech project is a museum-based program that partners the Department of Genetics and Silicon Valley’s Tech Museum of Innovation. Ten to twelve graduate students and postdoctoral fellows are trained to guide approximately 1,000 high school students and 5,000 community members through four 15-minute hands-on genetics activities (e.g., DNA analysis, protein purification) annually.
