Through the University of Colorado Cancer Center's Cancer Research Summer Fellowship Program, every summer 40 to 45 medical, high school and college undergraduate students are given the opportunity to spend ten weeks in our clinics and laboratories at the University of Colorado Hospital, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, University of Colorado Boulder and other Denver-area health care institutions.
