SYNERGY Summer Internship in Genetic Counseling and Disabilities
The SYNERGY Summer Internship Program is an 8-week internship at Virginia
Commonwealth University. The program is designed for undergraduate students
from Virginia State University and Virginia Union University to learn
about the field of genetic counseling, childhood disabilities, and careers
in health care. During the summer months, interns participate in weekly
clinics, discussion forums, and professional skills workshops. They
work with a graduate student mentor, keep a journal about their experiences,
and complete a project related to the field of genetics. This is an
exciting growth opportunity for students interested in exploring the
field of genetic counseling. Support for this internship is provided
by the Association of University Centers on Disabilities with funding
from the Maternal and Child Health Bureau.
