Programs & Events

UT Southwestern collaborates with campus partners to offer programs and initiatives that promote an engaging and inclusive employee experience.

Healthcare Scholars Summer Internship Program
The summer internship program is intended to provide students with an immersive experience in healthcare settings. As of 2024, our summer programs have educated and trained nearly 500 undergraduate interns since 1993. Interns are matched each summer to departmental placements across UT Southwestern’s campus for paid internships. Past preceptorships have included experience in clinical, laboratory, and hospital settings. In addition, interns attend professional development seminars and participate in peer mentoring to learn more about the many professional paths in the health sciences. The program runs from June through August with applications opening in January and decisions announced in March. The program also works closely with community partners such as the Dr. Emmett J. Conrad Leadership Program and other community-based internship opportunities.
