The SiR Junior Research Bootcamp is a unique course that is taken during an elective block in the first month of the trainee’s junior year. It exposes trainees to the larger BWH scientific community by providing access to a number of physician-scientists in the Boston area in both formal and informal settings. This course consists of a number of scientific lectures to provide trainees with exposure to the research conducted in and around BWH and abroad as well as reignite an interest in science, informal discussions with phsycian-scientists at all stages of their careers to provide guidance and insight on their path in medicine and investigation, as well as social events to further help trainees engage with scientific community and their like-minded colleagues.
“I appreciate the opportunity to hear from incredible speakers and the chance to interact with other science-oriented residents.”
“This was a great mix of career and science talks, coupled with exposure to numerous excellent physician scientists.”
“I loved the career advice and meeting incredible researchers in diverse fields. This gave me a chance to catch up on areas of science that have grown tremendously while I have been out of the lab.”
