Cora White, this year’s Honors College MCORRP participant
The Oregon State University Honors College is proud to announce that junior honors biochemistry and molecular biology student Cora White has been selected to attend the 2019 Michigan Clinical Outcomes Research and Reporting Program (MCORRP) summer internship. Each year, one honors student is selected from a competitive pool of applicants to receive a scholarship in order to participate in the internship, including financial coverage for airfare, a housing allowance, and a work stipend.
Interns spend ten weeks working with data registries of cardiovascular outcomes maintained by MCORRP, along with pursuing local volunteerism and shadowing physicians through the University of Michigan health system. Each intern also completes a research project and presents their findings to program members at the end of the internship.
The program was started in 2016 when Dr. Kim Eagle – an Oregon State alumnus, founding director of MCORRP and director of the Samuel and Jean Frankel Cardiovascular Center at the University of Michigan – funded a scholarship with full financial support for one Oregon State honors student to attend the internship. In every year since, the Honors College has selected one student to attend the prestigious internship in order to further their career goals in medicine. Past recipients include Swechya Banskota (2016), Trisha Chau (2017), and Delaney Smith (2018).
