Boston Children’s Hospital offers SCOOP — Student Career Opportunities Outreach Program — a six-week summer internship for rising Sophomore, Junior, and Senior high-school students to explore careers in patient care. Students work 22 hours a week alongside mentors in patient services and develop a project to be presented at the end of the program. Applicants must submit this Excel spreadsheet application and a 500-word essay — and arrange to have two letters of recommendation submitted — to staffdevelopment@childrens.harvard.edu no earlier than December 31 and no later than March 6. For more information, contact the SCOOP Program Coordinator, Eva Gómez at the same email address.
