Calum Watt is studying to become a high school science teacher. For the past two summers he has been working in the Training and Education Department at a cancer research institute in Nashville, Tennessee. Here is Cal's report from this summer.
This summer I’m working my second summer at Sarah Cannon, the Cancer Institute of HCA down in Nashville, TN. As a Life Science Education major, I was placed with their Training and Education Department for the second year in a row. Being back with these highly skilled individuals was great, as this summer I ran a course from development through production and facilitated those classes. It was a fantastic internship!
Some facts about Sarah Cannon:
- It's the only company with a standardized cancer navigation network.
- Out of 48 new cancer drugs to hit the market, 37 of them had come through Sarah Cannon at some point.
- Sarah Cannon is a global company with roots in Nashville, it has clinics in Denver, London, Kansas City, and many other eastern cities.
- Sarah Cannon is the largest private oncology research company in the country, rivaling most universities.
