Summer scholars
The goal of the Summer Scholars program…
is to expose bilingual high school students to the healthcare field by offering meaningful opportunities to work with JHU School of Medicine faculty in clinical settings that serve Latino patients with limited-English proficiency.

Applications through the years
The Summer Scholars application pool has more than doubled the last few years. Every year, we host 6 new students and starting in 2016, we began hosting up to 6 returning students in addition to the new participants. Returning students are involved in more focused projects with the purpose to gain a greater experience in a specific field of healthcare.
Help us continue to grow!
If you would like to become involved or have the opportunity to host or speak with our students this coming summer, please consider filling out our interest form:
