For students who are interested in the field of oncology and want to do research
(bench or clinical) in the summer after first year, I strongly recommend applying
to the summer fellowship research program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer
Institute. You will partake in interesting and challenging projects in the field
of oncology, and will have the opportunity to meet and learn from world-renowned
scientists such as Dr. Harold Varmus and Dr. Larry Norton in weekly speaker
series. The program provides further opportunities to widen your eyes in the
field of oncology, such as observing in ophthalmic oncology surgery and robotic
surgery. In short, it is a lot of work and fun!
