Translatnl Hlth Sci Intern:Arg

6 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

In an increasingly interconnected world, global health challenges can only be met when scientific collaborations also cross borders. On the Translational Health Science Internship program in Buenos Aires, you’ll team with Argentine researchers and physicians to study the basic science and clinical effects of viruses that cause respiratory infections in infants, children, and young adults. This highly experiential program will give you access to biomedical researchers and virologists in both the classroom and the laboratory, as well as experience shadowing physicians in pediatric hospitals. This combination of classroom, laboratory and hospital experiences will reveal the ways that scientific knowledge travels “from bench to bedside” - how discoveries made at the genetic and molecular level in the lab can be applied to treatment decisions in the clinical setting.
