Description

Since 1986, this unique program partners the experience of conducting a clinical research study, with a structured medical curriculum highlighted by the “life cycle of research” curriculum, “careers in medicine” talks with physicians, and visits to medical facilities and hospitals. Throughout the 8-week program, students are given the opportunity to pursue optional activities (shadowing physicians and observing surgeries) based on their individual areas of interest in medicine. To date more than 260 students have participated, and a high percentage has gone on to medical/research programs at prestigious institutions nationwide.
