Summer program for pre-MD-PhD students

Applications for the 2017 Gateways to the Laboratory Summer Program for Pre-MD-PhD students are now being accepted. This outstanding pre-MD-PhD summer program was recently featured in Academic Medicine along with its 20 year outcome study.

At the request of several advisors who wish to send targeted emails, I hope this eligibility information helps.  The Gateways to the Laboratory Program is for:

·         Freshman and sophomores (at time of application) only;

·         Underrepresented minority and/or disadvantaged backgrounds or have a disability;

·         US Citizens/Permanent Residents;

·         Students who wish to pursue the combined MD-PhD degrees after college.

The application deadline for this and most other summer programs is February 1.

I would also like to share two podcasts “Tri-I Pod” (available on iTunes) we’ve put together related to the Gateways to the Laboratory Program. Episode 3 of the podcasts specifically talks about the unique mentoring program “Big Sibs” that we practice in Gateways. Episode 4 of the podcast discusses the unique journal club we offer and the incredible support system that guides it.
