Med Volunteer Program

This unique program is designed to provide pre-med collegiate students, with junior class standing or higher, an opportunity to experience the career of a physician/surgeon.  This highly competitive program matches a student with a mentoring physician to allow for a true shadowing opportunity.  Selected participants may have an opportunity to attend grand rounds and lectures as well as to observe within a clinical setting.
