2011 Summer Research Internships – Clinical Cardiology


Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation is pleased to offer 

research internship opportunities once again this summer for 

undergraduate premed students and those studying other health

care disciplines in an accredited degree program. Internships 

are designed to give students professional experience in the 

areas of research and cardiovascular healthcare. Interns are 

integrated into a research area and assigned to work on a 

clinical research project. They will also have the chance
to watch cardiovascular surgery, shadow nurse practitioners, 

and observe cath labs, stress testing, and CT/MRIs, among 

other things.

Feedback from a 2010 intern: “There is no better place where

you can get a holistic view of healthcare while having the 

responsibility to work on your own research project. It is

the perfect opportunity for interactive learning, critical 

thinking, and relationship building. There is nothing more 

awesome than getting to be a part of a state-of-the-art, 

cutting-edge research facility while learning the ins and 

outs of the healthcare team. The physicians have high
expectations of the interns, but they never leave you with

a project that you cannot handle. If you want to work hard 

and learn a lot, this program is for you.”

Internships will be full-time, 10-12 weeks in duration, and

offer a modest stipend of $8 per hour and paid parking. All 

internships will take place on the campus of Abbott 

Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Out-of-state

participants in previous years were able to sublet apartments

near the University of Minnesota and reported the short-term 

relocation as being very worthwhile. We regard diversity in 

the internship program as an important factor in providing a 

rich learning environment for participants.
