Pediatric Cardiology Summer Program at CHOP

The Pediatric Cardiology Summer Program is a 6-8 week program for medical students between their first and second years or for undergraduate premedical or for public health students that can be extended to 10 weeks. There are opportunities for continued research during the academic year for interested individuals. The research student works with a mentor in the Electrophysiology (Arrhythmia) Section of the Pediatric Cardiology Division at CHOP (Dr. Vetter) on a project related to conditions that can result in sudden cardiac arrest in children, Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in schools, or associated areas. One to two slots are available. Although this program does not include guaranteed funding at this time, some funding may become available. Interested applicants should send their CV, a personal statement, and 2 letters of recommendation (one from current institution) to Dr. Victoria Vetter.
