Fred Hutch's Summer High School Internship Program (SHIP) is an 8-week, full-time paid internship for rising seniors. The program is specifically designed for students from backgrounds underrepresented in biomedical science. Selected interns attend an orientation day, then begin the internship with two weeks of hands-on training on laboratory safety techniques and skills in the Fred Hutch Training Labs. For the remaining six weeks, interns are paired and immersed in mentored activities in a Fred Hutch research group in Seattle. Interns also participate in research seminars, attend professional development workshops focused on college and careers, and enjoy social activities with their teams and peers. The program culminates with intern presentations to the Fred Hutch community.
Who can apply? Students who have completed 11th grade and not graduated, who also have a strong scientific interest and academic background and are available for the entire 8-week program in Seattle

Washington Business Week:

At Healthcare Week, students are divided into teams and are responsible for running a safe, ethical, and affordable healthcare clinic. Teams are challenged to answer the question—how will we solve some of the world’s greatest healthcare crises and still keep our clinic fiscally viable to ensure care for those who need it? Each team is assigned a major illness or issue, such as breast cancer, diabetes, or AIDS, and are tasked with the challenge to invent an innovative new preventative method, treatment, or cure.Students learn about the gamut of healthcare careers and healthcare technology. Students visit the nursing skills centers at major universities and practice hands-on learning with modern medical equipment.
Who can apply? Most opportunities are available for students age 13-18 / grades 8-12
