DAN Medical Research
Internship Program

Introduction Project Overview Participate FAQs Publications Project Supporters Back to Projects

DAN is committed to training and mentoring the Research Interns to make them competent in data collection and to give them an experience in diving medical research that will help to guide their future careers.

Interns receive training in diving physiology and research methodology at DAN Headquarters and at the Duke Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Environmental Physiology. They will also have access, at DAN and Duke, to people who are actively conducting diving safety research. With this training and their interactions with the diving public through DAN research projects, they will be able to communicate the importance of diving research for improving the safety of recreational diving.

The primary run of the internship program is mid-May through August. Training is conducted at DAN Headquarters and Duke. Interns are students recruited from colleges, universities and medical schools. Interns may also be recent graduates (within the past year) or accepted for further academic studies.
