Summer Research Interns

The AES Summer Research Intern program is designed to deepen the commitment of promising undergraduate scientists who identify as members of historically underrepresented groups to medical and/or research careers, welcome them into the epilepsy community, and support their growth and future careers.

Selected students are paired with mentors for an intensive introduction to the field of epilepsy while they are exploring their interests and options--supporting the Society's efforts to grow a well-trained and increasingly diverse workforce of epilepsy scientists and clinicians.

  • Augusta University
  • Harvard University, Boston Children's Hospital
  • Stanford University
