The Scholars Summer Program gives you the opportunity to learn more about a career in health care. We have four program tracks: one for undergraduate students and three for high school students. From gaining additional knowledge in the basic sciences to experiencing clinical rotations, you will spend several weeks investigating health care as a profession. Participants will have a chance to design and work on a research project, shadow a variety of physicians, and learn more about careers in medicine, pharmacy, and dentistry.
This is a free program that will be held in a virtual format in 2021
