Would you like a fun-filled, rewarding summer experience as a volunteer in a busy medical center? If you are 15 to 18 years of age and are interested in learning more about the health care field or how a hospital operates, this is a great program to get involved in.
This program is highly selective and receives a very large number of applications; therefore, only the first 250 applications received between January 31 and March 30 will be accepted to interview. Not all applicants will be accepted into the program.
Once we receive 250 applications, this information will be noted on our Web site that the application pool is full and we can no longer accept additional applications. Applications will be accepted via U.S. mail or Duke interoffice mail.
There are a number of departments that sponsor students to volunteer in their areas throughout all of Duke Medicine including, but not limited to, the opportunities listed below.
