This program is a four-week residential program for sophomore and junior undergraduate college students interested in health careers.

The program helps students make the adjustment from an undergraduate experience to professional school. The tuition-free four week program includes enrichment classes in science, seminars, and lectures. Additionally, the program offers participants the opportunity to interact daily with medical students, scientists, physicians, and other health care professionals.Guidelines
