Wake Forest University School of Medicine has been selected by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) as one of the host sites for their 2024 Oncology Summer Internship. Wake Forest University School of Medicine is one of only four medical schools across the U.S. chosen to join 11 other medical schools who already participate in the program.
The summer internship is a program designed to strengthen and diversify the oncology workforce by introducing rising second-year medical students to training and career options in oncology. The application to participate as a host site was led by the Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Cancer Center’s Office of Cancer Research Training and Education Coordination (CRTEC).
“As Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Cancer Center celebrates 50 years of National Cancer Institute designation, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to participate in this prestigious program that is raising interest in the field of oncology,” said Dr. Ruben Mesa, president of Atrium Health Levine Cancer, executive director of Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist’s Comprehensive Cancer Center and vice dean for cancer programs at Wake Forest University School of Medicine.
