CNI-X offers a unique opportunity for high school students to engage with cutting-edge brain research and clinical care through interactive seminars with Stanford faculty and researchers, culminating in a collaborative capstone project addressing mental health issues.
The Clinical Neuroscience Immersion Experience (CNI-X) at Stanford University is an intensive two-week (10-day) summer program designed for high school students. It offers an introductory exposure to neuroscience, psychiatry, and psychology through interactive seminars led by Stanford faculty and researchers. Students will learn about principles of neuroscience, clinical neuropsychiatry, neuroscience research, psychiatric epidemiology, behavioral and social sciences, and more. The program also covers professional and career opportunities in medicine and science, as well as self-care strategies for the transition to adulthood. A core component of CNI-X is the collaborative capstone project, where students work in small teams to develop innovative solutions to social issues related to mental health, which are then presented at a final session. The curriculum is described as a "sampler menu" of innovative work in these fields, providing a fast-paced, intense, challenging, creative, and bonding experience.
Lectures and activities take place on the Stanford University campus from 9 am-4 pm, with participants moving between various classrooms and meeting spaces, sometimes utilizing Stanford's free Marguerite shuttle.
This program is ideal for highly motivated high school students (sophomore, junior, or senior year) with diverse academic backgrounds and career aspirations who are interested in exploring a wide variety of topics within neuroscience, psychiatry, and psychology.
