National Institutes of Health Clinical Center
The NIH Clinical Center is a hospital dedicated to clinical research located on the National Institutes of Health campus in Bethesda, Maryland. It consists of two parts: the Warren Grant Magnuson Clinical Center and the Mark O. Hatfield Clinical Research Center, which are connected to form one large building. Since its opening in 1953, the Clinical Center has been at the forefront of medical innovation, with notable achievements including the development of chemotherapy for cancer treatment, the use of nitroglycerin for heart attacks, the identification of a genetic component in schizophrenia, and the creation of blood tests for AIDS and hepatitis. In 2014, the Clinical Center successfully treated one of the first few Ebola virus cases in the United States. The hospital's unique design promotes collaboration between clinical researchers and provides training opportunities for students and professionals. The Clinical Center offers a Summer Internship Program for students enrolled in various educational programs.
