<p>We have a boy who says he is interested in a career in medical research, which we take very seriously. We are looking for something that would combine some experience and work with classroom instruction.</p>
<p>I have been doing some googling of programs in the US, but have been shocked at the prices I see, e.g. $10K at Brown for 7 weeks or so. This appears to be a simple ripoff as the price to get it on a resume. Could that be worth it? (We have a d at U Cambridge in the UK, and as Europeans, $10K is a little less than we pay for a year's tuition.)</p>
<p>Does anyone know of any programs or internships that might combine work and practical experience for a lower price? </p>
