DHMC visit

This event was soo successful! 14 prospective students, 6 Dartmouth undergraduates and 1 Med school student met outside the Hopkins Center to board a microbus and a van en route to the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, a nationally ranked academic medical center; and it’s only 10 minutes away from campus! We wanted to give prospies a sense of how easy it is to work at the DHMC. Most of the Dartmouth students found their internships through the JobNet server offered by the College while others were connected to their researchers through contacts with professors or peers. With the Dartmouth students as our guides we walked around the facilities, including the Cancer Center and the Psychiatry department passing a variety of labs along the way where we were able to see first hand researchers and Dartmouth students at work. Not going to lie, I was very impressed and I’m pretty sure that was the general sentiment.
