Mentorship and Diversity Fellowships For Students Interested in MedTech and Biotech
If you are a student interested in biotech and medical technology, take note! The International Center for Professional Development SMDP fellowship applications are open! The SMDP is a one year career mentoring program that pairs high potential students from disadvantaged backgrounds (Bachelors, Masters or PhD) with industry mentors who work at companies in the medical, technology, biotechnology and consumer healthcare industries. Scholars attend a 5-day training session to learn about career opportunities and receive career coaching. They also have the opportunity to attend a major industry conference.
There are two tracks:
- Scientist Mentoring & Diversity Programs for Biotechnology (SMDP Biotech)
- Who may apply? Graduate students and post-doctoral researchers in the life sciences
- Training Dates: June 20-25, 2026 in San Diego, CA
- Medical Technology (SMDP MedTech)
- Who may apply? Undergraduate juniors and seniors, MS degree, PhD in Engineering or related disciplines
- Training Dates: October 16-21, 2026 in Boston, MA
The application deadline for both programs is due APRIL 3, 2026.
