National Naval Medical Center (NNMC)
(Bethesda, MD):


NNMC, Bethesda agrees to host a total of 18 midshipmen over the three summer cruise blocks. During the month-long rotation at NNMC, the interns will have the opportunity to work closely with various Navy doctors and health care professionals in a variety of specialty areas. As the interns “shadow” physicians they will observe and participate in hospital rounds, examinations, and surgical procedures. Additionally, they will have the opportunity to talk to doctors and medical students about medical school admissions and a career in Navy medicine. The internship experience at NNMC should provide valuable clinical experience that is required for gaining admissions to medical school as well as help the participating midshipmen make a better, more informed, career choice about entry into the Navy Medical Corps.


 



ACS Summer School in Nuclear and Radiochemistry
(San Jose, CA or Stony Brook, NY):

This is a six week program in nuclear and radiochemistry.  Applications are normally due in early February.  Applicants who are accepted into the program receive a fellowship that covers tuition, transportation, housing, some food, and all class material.  This program is great for midshipmen interested in the nuclear Navy.


Armed Forces Institute of Pathology
((Rockville, MD):

At AFIP, midshipmen work with military and civilian scientists on projects such as drug testing, cause of death in military accidents, issues faced by medical examiners, and toxicological research. The dates of this internship are flexible.



High Performance Computing
(various locations nationwide):

The projects vary widely but some are appropriate for chemistry majors, especially those interested in computational chemistry research.  Housing/food/transportation details vary from site to site. Dates are flexible.


Lawrence Livermore National Lab
(Livermore, CA):

This internship is sponsored by the physics department but allows many chemistry opportunities.


Los Alamos National Lab
(Los Alamos, NM):

This internship is sponsored by the physics department but allows many chemistry opportunities.


Naval Surface Warfare Center
(Indian Head, MD):

Midshipmen work with military and civilian scientists on projects that typically center around energetic materials.  Housing and food are provided on site.  This internship is sponsored by the math department but allows several chemistry opportunities.
