CIRT Student Internship Program
Under the direction of Daniel S. Berman, MD, the Cardiac Imaging Research Team (CIRT) Student Internship Program (SIP) provides an opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience in clinical and outcomes cardiovascular research, specifically in the areas of cardiac imaging (Nuclear, PET, CT, MRI).
During the summer program, interns will work on collecting follow-up data from research subjects and medical records. They will also have the opportunity to attend talks featuring distinguished clinicians and researchers, and to shadow professionals in a clinical setting.
Students eighteen years of age or older who are US citizens or permanent residents and are currently enrolled in an accredited US college or university are eligible to apply. Previous SIP interns have included undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in pre-med, public health, or medical school programs. This is a volunteer internship program; no stipend is given. Housing and transportation are not provided.

Application Review Process
Applications are evaluated based on an assessment of the student's merits, his/her strengths and potential for a research career, how well his/her experiences and goals fit with the specific project we decide on (TBD), and faculty recommendation. Students will be notified of the results of the review process in early May.
