Expanding SFS Opportunities
The Students on the Forefront of Science program is expanding to include a larger breadth of interests this summer.
The school’s Students on the Forefront of Science program (SFS) uses connections with graduates and parents to give Brooks students opportunities in the real world. For years, SFS has placed Brooks students in experiences in local hospitals, where they get to learn more about working in the medical field. SFS has also traditionally placed students with the Quebec Labrador Foundation, a conservation organization. Recently, SFS also began to place students at the Engineering Technology Camp at Apple in Cupertino, California.
Now, SFS is expanding again, both in an effort to offer a greater number of placements and also to meet student interest in an expanding number of fields. At press time, students were set to enjoy the following SFS experiences this summer:
• The Coastal Restoration and Climate Resilience Lab at the University of New Hampshire
• The Science Health Education Center at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
• Clinical Rotations in Cardiology and General Surgery, Lawrence General Hospital
• Surgical Clinical Rotation, Massachusetts General Hospital
• Amyloidosis Laboratory Research, Boston Medical Center
• Orthopedic Medicine Rotation, Tufts Medical Center
• Internship in Communications and Science Writing, Quebec Labrador Foundation
• Psychiatric Neuroimaging Laboratory of Brigham and Women’s Hospital
• Engineering Technology Camp, Cupertino California (Apple)
• Medical Device Development and Testing, Globus Medical
