Description

Hawaii Pacific Neuroscience offers the largest neuroscience teaching facility in the state of Hawaii. Our mission is to give back, mentor and nurture the future of our Hawaii healthcare leaders. Since 2009, over 260 students have gained valuable experience through our program. The 2019 HPN-SIP cohort included 30 students from the high school to the graduate school level.

The Summer Research Program at Hawaii Pacific Neuroscience provides students the opportunity to spend 9 weeks working side-by-side with leading neuroscientists and researchers in Hawaii in groundbreaking studies in Alzheimer’s disease, Epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis and other neurodegenerative diseases. Interns have the opportunity to interact directly with our multidisciplinary team of doctors and to experience working in a clinic setting. Additionally, interns choose a therapeutic area to research for the duration of their program and present their research in a Summer Symposium at the end of the program.

Applications are accepted on a rolling-basis and will be closed when the cohort is filled.
