St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital’s Pediatric Oncology Education Program
The Pediatric Oncology Education program at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is funded by the National Institutes of Health / National Cancer Institute. The POE program offers a unique opportunity for students preparing for careers in the biomedical sciences, medicine, nursing, pharmacy, psychology, or public health to gain biomedical and oncology research experience. The POE program provides a short-term training experience (summer internship) in either laboratory research or clinical research.
Forty-nine US citizen students from 39 schools in 23 states and Puerto Rico participated in our 2019 POE program. The class average undergraduate GPA was 3.8 on a 4.0 scale. The POE 2019 class members were 29 undergraduates (including May 2019 graduates), 19 medical students, and one in their first post-baccalaureate year. Six were prior POE year class members returning for an additional POE appointment. Historically, 86% of POEs have continued on to obtain a doctoral degree. Unfortunately, our 2020 program was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thirty-three students from 29 schools in 18 states and Puerto Rico participated in our 2021 program, which was conducted virtually. We hope to be able to resume in-person on-campus research experiences for our 2022 program. Please note that as of September 10, 2021, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has mandated the COVID-19 vaccine as a condition of entry for anyone who enters the St. Jude campus. In the event that the 2022 POE Program is held in-person, the COVID-19 vaccine will be a requirement of participation.
Please note that the POE program is a PRE doctoral program. Those with a doctoral degree (e.g. MD, PhD, PharmD, etc.) are NOT eligible for the POE program and should NOT apply. A possible exception would be a doctorate holder who is a student in a second doctoral program (e.g. a PhD who is currently enrolled in medical school pursuing an MD). MDs who have completed residency training in Pediatrics may be eligible for our Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Fellowship Training Program. Qualified non-US physicians may be eligible to visit St Jude through St. Jude Global.
Requirements
Deadline: February 1, 2024
Members of under-represented ethnic minority groups and women are especially encouraged to apply, since a major long-term goal of our program is to increase the diversity of persons engaged in oncology research and practice.
