Media Fellowship
Are you a student in health or biomedical sciences? Do you have a knack for writing? Do you find yourself telling strangers in elevators about science? Then you might be an ideal AIHS Media Fellow!
Our Media Fellowship Program began in 1991 and provides opportunities for Alberta university students with biomedical science backgrounds, strong writing skills, and a passion for telling the world about science to spend 12 weeks during the summer working as reporters, researchers, and production assistants with CBC Radio in Alberta.
Working in radio introduced me to challenges that will likely help me become a better physician: how to ask the right questions, and how to communicate technical information in a personally engaging way. Piotr Klakowicz, 2006 Media Fellow. Today, Dr. Klakowicz is a Public Health & Preventive Medicine Resident in the School of Population & Public Health in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of British Columbia.
Deadline for application is: Friday, March 18, 2011
