PROJECT STILL ONGOING, EXPECTED COMPLETION JANUARY 2018
Working with the Pre-Health Scholars program, through the Office of Student Diversity and Enrichment, 12 students were enrolled in a 6-week summer course with the goal to provide an educational experience that changes the way these students approach their undergraduate academics. The hope is after the course students will improve GPA, MCAT (or other standardized entry exams). Clinical experiences also made available to the students to supplement their CV and improve competitiveness. Long-term goal is to establish a reproducible model for other health professional programs to adopt and modify to improve disparity of URM and underrepresented populations in medicine.
