Merck Frosst participates in
a co-operative student program. Our primary goal is to
identify and bring in some of the best undergraduate
students in the country to experience the type of exciting
scientific research conducted in the pharmaceutical
industry, and in particular, at Merck Frosst. We hope the
experience will stimulate participants to pursue advanced
graduate studies and careers in science. Students in our
laboratories assist researchers in novel, and often basic, research. The research not only advances scientific knowledge
and Merck Frosst's drug development programs, but also leads
to important publications that can further the students'
careers. Each co-op student is required to prepare a written
work report for their home institution, which may also be
evaluated by their Merck Frosst supervisor. Some student
participants are later employed by Merck Frosst. In
addition, many in-house research seminars are conducted at
Merck, by our own scientists or by visiting lecturers, and
students are encouraged to attend.
