Summer Youth Programming Coordinator

Each summer the Department of Surgery hosts the Surgery Clinical Research Continuum: High School to College Program, a 6-week internship designed for rising high school seniors from underserved populations. Throughout this period, participants can expect to immerse themselves in 30-40 hours of intensive programming each week. Under the guidance of enthusiastic faculty and staff, participants in the summer program will acquire fundamental knowledge crucial for conducting clinical research and comprehending how physicians integrate research into their medical careers. Active participation in ongoing research projects is a key component of the program, with students potentially contributing to studies involving existing clinical data. This internship is designed to inspire participants to explore careers in academic healthcare. Participants will develop an introductory-level understanding of clinical research while actively engaging with various healthcare professionals across the field. Although direct patient care activities are not included, participants will have opportunities to practice simulated surgery skills and tour healthcare facilities. This program is supported by a grant from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and the UW Department of Surgery.
The Summer Youth Programming Coordinator (SYPC) will work with the Program Directors and program stakeholders to facilitate the experience of the summer students in understanding program curriculum and applying it to their summer research projects. Curriculum design has been completed by the program directors. The SYPC will ensure execution of curriculum, navigate issues in collaboration with the program directors, provide supervision to student participants, and help student participants apply their curriculum to the program. Problem solving skills and classroom management skills will be useful in this role.
This position is expected to start on June 17, 2024 and end on July 26, 2024.
