I was able to experience working in a hospital setting and clinical research. I also connected with a lot of medical school students and learned about what it's like in medical school.
What I wish was different
I wish I had more time to work on the project and collect more data for publications.
Advice
Take some time to explore the Norfolk area and connect with students and doctors while you're there.

What I liked
This program matches you with a mentor for the summer to work on an existing research project. There are a multitude of projects to choose from, including clinical, basic science, and public health based. It was an excellent experience which afforded me the opportunity to work through the entire process of a research project largely independently.
