The Division of Infectious Diseases at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School and the Harvard University Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) invites college students (rising sophomores – seniors), college graduates taking a gap year (or gap years) prior to postgraduate training, and medical or graduate students to participate in a 7-week summer fellowship program that provides development in clinical and basic research skills in the field of Infectious diseases, building a bridge to careers in medicine, pubic health, infectious disease research, and administration. The long-term goal is to assist underrepresented persons of color, who have historically been excluded from careers in health and medicine, in building essential skills for their future careers.
