I hope this email finds you well! My name is Jocelyn Sandoval, and I am HCOP’s Program Manager (Health Careers Opportunity Program) within the College of Medicine at Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science (CDU). I wanted to share an exciting pre-health summer 2025 opportunity with you and your students.
CDU is currently accepting applications for our 2nd cohort of the Health Careers Opportunity Program (HCOP) Summer Institute. The Summer Institute is a supportive 6-week summer program that provides students interested in pursuing a health career in medicine (pre-med or pre-PA) with the skills and resources to strengthen their preparedness for entering the medical profession.
Some highlights of the Summer Institute are:
- Case management including career navigation
- Workshops in health disparities, health policy, mental health, imposter syndrome, and other skills to thrive in health professional school
- Medical and Physician Assistant (PA) school application/admission support through interaction with CDU College of Medicine, PA, and community psychology programs
- Mentorship and professional development with experienced health professionals
- Exposure to clinical skills through street medicine, virtual case studies and alternative approaches to trauma care
- Additional financial support for MCAT/GRE prep
- $1800 Stipend
The deadline to apply is January 22, 2025.
I am attaching the flyer and the application link here: http://bit.ly/3AN5M3B
Please feel free to share this opportunity with your pre-health students. I am available for informational sessions if students are interested, as well! Feel free to email us (hcopp...@cdrewu.edu) if you have any questions.
Thank you!
