Among the many ways to create or find summer opportunities, there are several specific ones around the country, many for scholarly opportunities in lab research, global health/public health research, etc. There are also non-research opportunities!

For these types of opportunities, HPP has developed a resource directory of many of them. These opportunities have specific applications, deadlines, and start and finish dates.

While it's important to engage in scholarly inquiry and gain real-life exposure in clinical and non-clinical settings, health professions schools look for evidence that an applicant is not just "checking" off a list of requirements, but is truly engaged in their experiences with a sincere interest. So as you look through the links for opportunities below, take a venture into an experience that genuinely interests you.
