About My YCCI Internship

My internship experience at the Yale Center for Clinical Investigation gave me the opportunity to participate in translating clinical research to pediatric patients. I also engaged with research experts and Yale faculty while learning much about clinical research. The opportunity allowed me to collaborate with peers in a group project. I also learned about various career options in the medical and research fields.

For Students Considering YCCI

I would recommend this internship program to students interested in clinical research, regardless of experience. The program is highly engaging and collaborative. It also enhances skills in communication and teamwork. The YCCI internship is a great opportunity for students to learn the basics of translating clinical research into practice.
