The Explorations in Neuroscience Summer Camp is designed for high school juniors and seniors with an interest in learning more about the brain and spinal cord in health and disease. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with faculty and students carrying out neuroscience related research. In addition, they will meet with clinicians from various clinical departments such as Neurology and Neurosurgery. Throughout the course, participants will meet with graduate students in the Neuroscience Graduate Program who will lead discussions and talk about their exciting research.
On the final day of camp, we will provide a session that focuses on the Neuroscience Undergraduate Major, where we will discuss career pathways in Neuroscience, including those leading to graduate school, medical fields including dentistry, nursing and allied health and other career options. Discussions will include suggestions on how to be successful as students go through their undergraduate programs.
