SickKids Summer Research Program

The SickKids Summer Research (SSuRe) Program provides professional and career development opportunities for undergraduate students who are working on a research project with a Research Institute (RI) scientist for the summer.

Program highlights:

• All undergraduate and medical students doing research with a RI scientist over the summer months are invited to participate in program activities.
• 15-weeks from May to mid-August.
• Weekly seminars presented by Hospital and RI scientists.
• Career Night where students have a chance to meet research staff from across the RI.
• Opportunity to present research projects at annual Summer Student Symposium.
• Awards presented to select students for exceptional research projects.

Eligibility:

Any student who will be enrolled in a university/college undergraduate program in the fall following the Summer Program or enrolled in medical school is eligible to be hired as a Research Summer Student. That includes high school students in their last year. If you are in your final year of undergraduate studies, you are eligible to be hired as a Research Summer Student so long as you will be, or have applied to be, enrolled in a university/college program in the fall.

If you’re a high school student but not in your last year, you may be eligible to participate in the Student Advancement Research (StAR) internship program.
