Meet the 2024 Interns

Since 2002, the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation (MHIF) Clinical Research Internship Program has hosted hundreds students for this unique physician-mentored cardiovascular research internship for undergraduate students. Interns not only gain exceptional experience that helps them prepare for medical school, they also help move MHIF research significantly forward. We are proud to continue to be able to select from a competitive pool of candidates from across the U.S.
