Program Overview

The Pre-Medical Summer School is a pipeline program targeting undergraduate and graduate students residing in Phoenix, Arizona during the summer. Pre-Medical Summer School is a 3-month program that prepares students to become competitive medical school applicants by participating in preparing to apply workshops, seminars, panels, and hands-on experiences such as volunteering, shadowing, and educational clinics.

The program offers social support, as well as research and clinical opportunities, teaching students to become competitive medical school applicants. The program is guided by the college’s four pillars: Education, Research, Clinical, and Community; all of which are considered in the holistic review of medical school applications.

Thank you to our faculty, staff, and students for volunteering their time. This allows us to offer the Pre-Medical Summer School at no cost to the participants.
