The Wireless Health Institute at UCLA is currently recruiting participants for our 2013 Summer Undergraduate Scholars Program.
Advances in engineering and computer science are enabling the design of
powerful home and mobile technologies that can augment functional
independence and daily activities of people with physical impairments,
disabilities, chronic diseases, and the accumulative
impairments associated with aging. The Wireless Health Institute at
UCLA is a collaboration between UCLA Schools of Medicine, Nursing,
Engineering and Applied Sciences, Business, the Clinical Translational
Science Institute for medical research, and the Ronald
Regan UCLA Medical Center aimed at developing new technology essential
to the next generation of health care.
We encourage undergraduates to get involved with our Institute by
participating in our Summer Undergraduate Scholars Program. This 8 – 10
week PAID summer internship program, starting June 24, 2013, provides
undergraduates the opportunity to gain hands-on research
experience at WHI labs; to work with WHI faculty, staff and graduate
students; and to participate in research, professional development, and
social activities with other WHI undergraduate scholars.
Application Deadline - April 5, 2013 (Submit unofficial transcripts to
expedite review and encourage your letter writers to email their letters
directly. We will verify once the official ones arrive).
