We are considering a 3-week pre-health summer program with the following features:

  • 12 motivated, high achieving students interested in a health career
  • 2 faculty from the sciences
  • an overaching public health project that will span the entire program
  • exposure to a variety of health careers
  • readings/discussions on humanity in medicine and ethics
  • laboratory experiments with a health emphasis
  • possible Fall internship


Questions:

1. Are there local public health issues that can be explored/researched/addressed by a group of motivated students and faculty during a 3 week summer course? This program can be continued over the 4 year timeframe of the grant.

2. Are there ways that we can work with local health care providers to expose students to the different possible careers in health?
