Are you interested in orthopedic surgery and sports medicine? Would you like to shadow a world-class surgeon in the operating room this summer? Come learn more about Steamboat Foundation's prestigious Summer Scholar Program.

This year, a single Columbia junior will be selected as the Steamboat Scholar and will have the unparalleled experience of interning at the Hospital of Special Surgery with Columbia alumnus and New York Mets team physician Dr. David Altchek.

The Scholar will spend ten weeks in the summer of 2008 shadowing Dr. Altchek in clinical consultations and observing surgical procedures in the operating room, while contributing to a relevant independent clinical research project.

The Steamboat Scholar will also receive a $12,000 financial award, participate in leadership-building events, and live and learn with the ten other Steamboat Scholars, all of whom hail from different universities and bring a range of perspectives and interests to the group.

At this information session, you will have an opportunity to hear from Steamboat alumni -

Cindy Gao SEAS '06 and Ben Nwachukwu CC '08 - about their Steamboat experiences.

Application deadline: Friday, January 25, 2008.
