Lisa Krivickas Summer Internship

Overview

The 2025 Lisa Krivickas Summer Internship Program at the Healey & AMG Center for ALS at Mass General will offer 2-3 undergraduate students an exceptional opportunity to gain exposure to research/clinical care or project management for people living with with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as "Lou Gehrig’s Disease." ALS is a rare disease in which motor neuron cells die off and may result in progressive weakness of the limb,facial, and diaphram muscles. In the United States, approximately 5,000 people annually are diagnosed with ALS, and about 30,000 currently live with ALS worldwide.

Working in a world class Neurology department alongside clinical staff, interns will support the mission of the Healey & AMG Center by being assigned to the research/clinical or project management teams. This exposure will lead to the intern's learning how clinical trials are structured and run, performing general office and research duties, and shadow clinical research staff. Interns are also involved in projects that support various goals of the Healey & AMG Center.
