The program, now in its 16th year, is designed to give high school seniors who are already interested in medical careers a one-week preview of medical school. This is a unique experience for students that have shown the capacity to benefit from the program. Tyree was chosen out of hundreds of applicants from across the State through a selective process which included a competitive application process and a personal essay.
During the session, Tyree will participate in a medical-school style curriculum, which includes problem-based learning, a method of teaching that combines independent learning in small groups with patient care cases. Students will also participate in sessions with clinical and research specialists; gain hands-on experience in anatomy, microbiology and clinical skills; interact with medical school students, faculty and staff; and attend seminars on college and medical school life. In addition, students will live on-campus and participate in various social activities to give a full real life experience to medical school life and college campus living.
