Lisa Krivickas Summer Internship

Overview

The 2026 Lisa Krivickas Summer Internship Program at the Healey & AMG Center for ALS at Mass General will offer 2-3 undergraduate students an exceptional opportunity to gain exposure to research/clinical care or project management for people living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease.” ALS is a rare disease in which motor neuron cells die off, leading to progressive weakness of the limb, facial, and diaphragm muscles. In the United States, approximately 5,000 people annually are diagnosed with ALS, and about 30,000 currently live with ALS worldwide.

Working in a world class Neurology department alongside clinical staff, interns will support the mission of the Healey & AMG Center by being assigned to the research/clinical or project management teams. This exposure will help interns learn how clinical trials are structured and run, perform general office and research duties, and shadow clinical and research staff. Interns will also be involved in projects that support various goals of the Healey & AMG Center.

Qualifications

The Healey & AMG Center for ALS accepts applications from undergraduate college students. Applicants must be able to work independently and part of a team and must demonstrate respect and professionalism in a clinical setting.
