Abstract
A NIH-sponsored summer diabetes research internship at the University of Virginia provided undergraduates with opportunities to engage in basic sciences/clinically focused projects mentored by faculty, in areas such as diabetes-related epidemiology, genetics, complications, cell therapy, bioengineering, and artificial pancreas. Lectures, laboratory skills workshops, clinical shadowing, professional development seminars, and a journal club supplemented the intern experience.
