Made possible by the generous contributions of individual donors, mhif offers one of the most outstanding and unique internship opportunities available to undergraduates who are pre-med or planning a career in medicine. This unique educational experience includes being paired with a physician mentor who guides interns through the facilitation of a research project, hospital observations, engaging field trips, lunch and learn presentations, showcasing their research work at an open house and poster session and much more. Many research projects result in the intern having the opportunity to be an author on an article published in a national scientific journal. Some interns also have the opportunity to present their work at a national cardiovascular conference.during the past 20 years, 225 clinical research interns have contributed to 205 posters and presentations at national scientific sessions, 197 publications in peer-reviewed journals, and 55% of former interns are now practicing physicians.
