Summer Research Program
This program, running for over twenty years, seeks to provide learners with an interest in healthcare, especially medicine, an opportunity to experience healthcare before committing to a college or specific career path. As a part of the program, the learners will engage with a variety of physicians and other healthcare associates from a variety of disciplines to learn about the everyday aspects of their specialty. In addition, the program has a robust laboratory and clinical component that includes basic physical exam and history, human anatomy using cadaveric specimens, ECGs, laceration repair, and shadowing physicians within our hospital's emergency room. As a part of the program's graduation requirement, the students will be expected to work in a group to conduct literature searches and give formal presentations on a relevant aspect of medicine or a disease. Following completion of the program, the learners will receive a certificate of completion from the Graduate Medical Education Department that can be used as a part of college/graduate school admissions applications.
