Clemson Bioengineering Research and Clinical Summer Immersion at Charleston (BEACH) 2024

DESCRIPTION

This summer program targets students who are committed to advancing their engineering expertise in graduate schools or health professions after graduation. Hosted by the Clemson-MUSC Bioengineering Program, through hands-on work in research labs and shadowing experiences in clinics at MUSC in Charleston, students will develop a firsthand perspective about the skills necessary to succeed in graduate or health professional schools. The program will be held over 12 weeks (Summer I and Summer II per Clemson 2023-2024 Academic Calendar). For each Summer session, students spend a minimum of 135 hours on activities, including lab research, clinical shadowing, and seminars. On Friday mornings, all participants will meet in the classroom for seminars or discussion panels given by Clemson or MUSC faculty, postdoctoral scientists, and PhD or MD students. Research projects will typically focus on but are not limited to the following topics: orthopedics, biomaterials, bioimaging, and stem cell-based tissue engineering.
