2021 Advanced Medical Neuroscience Internship

"As an intern in the Advanced Neuroscience Medical Program, I truly learned more about neuroscience than I could have ever imagined. The programming contained so much information and spread across every imaginable field of neuroscience, allowing us to gain as much information as we could from international neuroscience experts. The culminating research proposal we developed was also extremely eye-opening for me. Dr. Wurzman helped me through each step of the process, which allowed me to present the best research proposal I possibly could."
