The Rutgers University High School Student Interns program, hosted by Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, offers high school students the opportunity to engage in research internships. This program allows students to independently arrange their internships with individual faculty members from Rutgers. The goal is to provide a rich, research-oriented experience that ensures appropriate instruction and supervision for all participating minors. The program covers various fields of research depending on the faculty member with whom the student arranges their internship. The program's format is primarily hands-on, allowing students to gain practical experience in a research laboratory setting. As the program is designed around individual faculty members, the duration and schedule of the program vary on a case-by-case basis. Participation requirements stipulate that students must be at least sixteen years of age, have a commitment from a Rutgers faculty member as a host, and complete the required consent forms. All necessary forms must be submitted four weeks prior to the anticipated start date. While the program doesn't specify the exact qualifications of the faculty members involved, it can be inferred that these are experienced Rutgers faculty from various fields. The benefits of this program are manifold: not only do participants gain valuable research experience, but they also have the opportunity to work closely with faculty members, thereby enhancing their understanding of the field they are interning in.
