Option 1 is June 12-16, Option 2 is June 19-23, and Option 3 is June 26-30. The program will run 9:30am to 3:00pm each weekday. The cost of the program is $1000.
The University of Cincinnati College of Medicine has created a summer workshop (“Hands on Laboratory Medical Research”) for those who are sophomores and juniors in high school during the 2022-23 school year, and are at least 15 years old, interested in careers in medicine, or other healthcare related fields, and wish to gain some experience in medical research in a state-of-the art laboratory. Students will learn to formulate hypotheses, design experiments, analyze data and communicate their conclusions at a research symposium at the end of the course.
