The Cardiac Rhythm Laboratory also participates in a program with local high schools in which students are exposed to research in hopes of retaining students' long-term interest in the sciences. This program requires a minimum of 360 hours of research to be performed by the student and can be achieved in any capacity in the lab. Visiting students to the Cardiac Rhythm Lab participate in all of the ongoing projects with supervision by resident CRL members. The research that is conducted by these students allows them to experience the scientific process in action and how rewarding it ultimately is.
Present visiting students are:
