​Paid Internship in Science and Health Training and Research (ISHTaR)

Picture
The Internship in Science and Health Training and Research (ISHTaR) is a summer internship for rising high school seniors and juniors. Within ISHTaR,  2-3 high school students are chosen each summer to work with a research team. Students become part of the team, performing research tasks, developing written materials, and shadowing in-hospital and ambulance providers.

ISHTaR is specifically geared toward local minority and/or low socioeconomic students in order to increase exposure to healthcare and research to those who are underrepresented in medicine. This internship is a paid position with the understanding that interns will work between 20 and 40 hours/week. Please see this link for more information on the program.   https://www.med.unc.edu/emergmed/education/ishtar/
The Cisco High School STEM Program is a comprehensive 2 to 4-week unpaid summer externship designed to give top, STEM and business focused students an introduction to Cisco’s history, culture, and the technology industry.  Students will be engaged in interactive project work, problem-solving, and learn to communicate with industry professionals and peers.
