We are thrilled to welcome our 2025 class of undergraduate interns! These 42 students are joining us from 25 different universities across the United States, Mexico, and Brazil. They were selected from a pool of more than 350 applicants.

The Summer #UndergraduateInternship Program at #BarrowNeurologicalInstitute allows participants to immerse themselves in #translationalneuroscience laboratories, where they contribute to game-changing research under the mentorship of esteemed scientists and clinicians. Additionally, the Program welcomes interns in other areas of the Institute, such as marketing, philanthropy, #medicalillustration, and #neurorehabilitation.

June is #AlzheimersandBrainHealthAwareness Month. This month, challenge yourself with fun, brain-healthy activities like this!

Exciting update! Kerry Knievel, DO, FAHS, director of the Lewis Headache Center at Barrow Neurological Institute, and Olivia Kingsford, DO, worked with the American College of Emergency Physicians to create a headache care pathway app for emergency department physicians! The app provides guidance to determine whether the patient has a migraine or a “red flag” headache diagnosis that requires emergency intervention. It also includes information on managing migraine in acute patients. The app will be utilized by emergency room physicians throughout the country, improving care for patients with headache nationally.

This June is #Migraine and #Headache Awareness Month, and your support is critical in supporting initiatives like this. Learn more about your impact at Barrow at the link in our bio!
