Welcome to the WHK Student Intern Program!
The Werner H. Kirsten Student Intern Program (WHK SIP) at the National Cancer Institute
(NCI) at Frederick is designed to expose high school seniors to research and administrative
management in a health care environment. The scientific interns experience the basic
methods of biomedical research through “hands-on” laboratory training. The students
in the Internships in Support of Science/Research are assigned projects in budget,
personnel, information technology, graphics and media.
