As you consider your summer options, we encourage you to take advantage of the services and resources offered by Bowdoin Career Planning. Dighton Spooner is especially knowledgeable about Funded Internship opportunities, and Sarah Paul is an excellent source of information for anyone interested in the sciences, medical research, and public health. The best way to get started is to contact Bowdoin Career Planning via email at cpc@bowdoin.edu, by phone at 725-3717, or by stopping in to the Career Planning Center on the first floor of Moulton Union.

The Bowdoin Career Connection  is your 24/7 online career planning resource. Sign in and research fields of interest, find internships, and get help formatting your resume and cover letter.

The list below is just a sampling of summer opportunities (with application deadlines) compiled by the Office of Health Professions Advising. They are listed in the following categories: Research, Clinical, Public Health and Opportunities for Underrepresented Minority/Disadvantaged Students.  Inclusion on this list does not imply endorsement by either this office or the College. You'll find more comprehensive information on summer programs and grants resources on the Bowdoin Career Connection "Summer Opportunities in Medical Research" and "Funded Internship Programs" pages.
