Summer Program in Neuroscience

Posted on by Wraegen Williams

2025 Summer Program in Neuroscience (SPIN ’25) is an on-site, 8-week program for undergraduates hosted at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine and Boston Medical Center.

Benefits: SPIN is a unique program that combines mentored research activity with parallel organized clinical and didactic experiences to create and enhance an understanding and appreciation of the relationship between investigation and medicine in the neurosciences. Students emerge with a nuanced and multifaceted perspective of the brain informed by research, clinical experience, and small group didactics. Many SPIN alumni entered the program with hopes to pursue careers in biomedical research or medicine and afterwards have done so in doctoral programs in neuroscience and medical school. The program supports these choices by having career-development sessions to explain application processes for medical and graduate schools and teach interview skills.  Alumni indicate that the program has been “life changing” and critical to determining their individual, post-graduate career path.
