Division of General Pediatrics Internship

Students participating in this internship will gain experience with working on various research projects related to asthma. They will work with Dr. Holmes as well as her research staff, including seeing study participants at their schools or doing home visits. They will be taught the national guidelines on asthma assessment and management, similar to what is taught to third-year medical students and pediatric residents. There will also be opportunities to join Dr. Holmes while she sees patients in clinic, including her Asthma Clinic that is embedded in a primary care office.

Students will develop their own research question and analyze some preliminary data from a larger asthma study currently being conducted, or develop their own research study. They will meet with Dr. Holmes several times before the start of the internship to allow enough time to develop their research question and completion of the project during the summer internship. They will give an oral presentation to the team at the end of the internship as well as prepare a poster for the school’s Medical Student Research Forum that is typically in January the following year.”

We typically accept one student per year. Please contact Lucy Holmes, MD, MPH, before submitting an application to be sure a position is available.
