The Clinical & Research Internship at Stanford Pediatrics (CRISP) Summer Program is a 10-week summer internship designed to introduce Stanford undergraduate students to the field of Pediatrics through immersive clinical exposure, mentored clinically-relevant research, and structured education. CRISP is intended to increase student interest in Pediatrics as a career path.

Program Dates: June 22, 2026 through August 28, 2026

Weekly Time Commitment: Stanford students must be available for 10 weeks, full-time (35+ hours/week) during this time period to be eligible to apply to the CRISP Summer Program.

For summer 2026, the program will be offered in-person, with the option of some remote work. 

During the 10-week summer experience, students will spend three mornings per week participating in structured clinical activities, including clinical skills sessions, didactic teaching, and guided patient experiences led by the CRISP faculty team at the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital. In the afternoons, students will work with their assigned faculty research mentor on a clinically relevant research project. Faculty research mentors will provide project guidance, research mentorship, and support. Students will also participate in educational sessions once per week exploring Pediatrics as a career and preparing for medical school. Students will benefit from mentoring experiences from faculty, peer mentoring within the cohort, and near peer mentoring from Pediatrics Residents and medical students. 

This program is supported by a generous donation from the Coleman Family Ventures Foundation and accepted students will be named as Colman Family Fellows.

Note: this program is only open to Stanford undergraduate students and is not available to external students.
