In alignment with its mission, SIR Foundation has created a Summer Medical Internship Program with the goal of introducing medical students early in their studies to interventional radiology research and medical device development. The internship is for highly motivated medical students who seek to acquire a fundamental understanding of research methods as they relate to Vascular and Interventional Radiology. The selected students will have an opportunity to intern with an Interventional Radiologist research mentor host or a corporate research and development mentor host during the upcoming summer season.
Interventional Radiologist Mentor Internship: The SIR Foundation will provide a stipend for living and travel expenses. The IR host/mentor internships are 8 weeks in duration with a minimum of a 40-hour workweek. The stipend will be paid to the student by SIR Foundation after the confirmation of the start of the internship. The student is responsible for arranging his/her own transportation and housing at the host location.
Corporate Sponsor Mentor Internship: The corporate host internships range from 8-12 weeks in duration with a minimum of a 40-hour workweek. Specific details for each corporate host/mentor internship will be provided in the individual program descriptions. The stipend will be provided by the corporate host and explained in the agreement between the corporate host and the student intern. The student is responsible for arranging his/her own transportation and for arranging his/her housing at the host location unless the corporate host chooses to offer housing and those details will be explained by the corporate host.
