Vanderbilt-Excellence in Cancer Research, Education, and Leadership (V-EXCEL) Program
The V-EXCEL Program at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center provides a unique training experience that builds upon Vanderbilt's extraordinary record of research. Sponsored by the American Cancer Society, the program’s specific objectives are to provide:
- Mentored cancer research experiences for students pursuing a bachelor's degree
- A robust set of structured career development activities to support the acquisition of knowledge and skills to pursue higher education leading to future careers in cancer research or medicine
- Opportunities for community engagement to support a community of practice
V-EXCEL interns participate in an in-person, 10-week summer program of mentored basic, clinical/translational, and/or population science cancer research, cancer education, professional development, and community outreach activities. The overall program activities are individually tailored to meet the needs of each V-EXCEL intern.
