Day In Life Program

The Day in the Life Program offers undergraduates opportunities for short-term JOB SHADOWING with professional hosts in fields of interest for students in the life sciences.

Note: Some physicians and hospitals may require clearance via their Human Resources offices. As with this program as a whole, all arrangements and such matters must be undertaken directly by the student with the host.

The Biology Undergraduate Affairs office is not involved in arranging contacts and introductions with the host but only provides this listing as a courtesy service.

LOCAL program: Hosts for the Local program are affiliated with Brown associated hospitals, or are practitioners/professionals in the RI area. Opportunities are usually single days, although this may be extended by consent of the host.

NATIONAL program: Hosts for the National program are Brown alumni who have volunteered to do this. Shadowing a Brown Bio alum at work is a great way to spend a few days during winter or spring break or during the summer, if there are hosts in your hometown.

The list of LOCAL hosts is below, but the detailed contact information, and the NATIONAL hosts information is found in binders at the Office of Biology Undergraduate Affairs, Room 124, Arnold Lab (97 Waterman Street). Hours are 8:30-5:00, M-F, and materials may be used on a walk-in basis.

These programs are a great way to get a taste of the lifestyle and challenges in many fields that may interest the Biology concentrators.
