About the program

Whether you or a college student you know is interested in becoming a nurse, a physician, a physician assistant, or a physical or occupational therapist, this four-week program allows each student the chance to witness the unique aspects of each professional role.  

Prerequisites for the program include an interest in a career in the medical field and one completed year of college education. 

The cost of the program is $500 per student. Applicants may apply for a program scholarship based on financial need.

And of course our long-running program wouldn't be possible without the support of our preceptors -- those talented clinicians willing to share their time and wisdom with our students! 🫶
