Day in the Life Program

The Day in the Life Program is sponsored by the Office of Biology Undergraduate Affairs and offers students at all levels opportunities for brief job shadowing experiences with a professional host in a field of biological or medical interest. Hosts for the local program are affiliated with hospitals of the Brown Medical School, local health care practitioners and others in related fields. Opportunties are usually single days, although this may be extended by consent of the host.

Hosts for National Program are Brown alumni who have volunteered as particpants. This is a great way to spend a few days during winter or spring break or during the summer, if there are hosts in your home town.

The lists of hosts and fields can be downloaded below, but the detailed contact information is found in binders at the Office of Biology Undergraduate Affairs, Room 124, Arnold Lab (97 Waterman Street). Hours are 8:00-5:00, M-F, and materials may be used without an appointment, on a walk-in basis.

This program is a great way to get a taste of the lifestyle and challenges in many fields that may interest the Biology concentrators.

Lists are indexed two ways, by Faculty or Speciality.
