FOR UNDERGRADUATE AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDENTS
WHO ASPIRE TO BECOME DOCTORS

 

BLACK EXCEL'S LIST OF SUMMER MEDICAL SCHOOL INTERNSHIPS

If you are an African-American (or other minority) undergraduate student who aspires to become a physician or health professional, you should give serious consideration to the following list of intern possibilities for summer research, study, and advancement in order to enhance your medical school application resume!

 

Nine Medical Schools are listed in this first section. These schools are members of MMEP (Minority Medical Education Program). The programs show you what it takes to become a physician and what it takes to get into medical school. If you are accepted to one of these programs, you will receive counseling, work in a laboratory, receive academic and MCAT test training, and you will interact with a mentor and other students. BLACK EXCEL thinks involvement is wise if you are serious about entering this profession.

For applications and info, write to MMEP. Call or e-mail requests for material:

DESIRED STANDARDS: U.S. Citizen; at least one year of college completed at start of program; a "B" average (with a minimum of 2.75 in science courses); an interest in medicine; and about a 950 SAT).

OTHER SUMMER PROGRAMS (not MMEP, but very worthwhile)

Most are for "under-represented minority" students with GPA's ranging from 2.5 to 3.0. Programs range from 4 to 9 weeks, with varying college levels (freshman, sophomore, etc.) required, as well as (usually) most specific science courses such as chemistry, biology, or physics. All these "enrichment" programs are pre-med related.
