In the summer of 2006, a new program at the Medical
University of Ohio called MedStarz will be introduced
for undergraduate premedical students. Sponsored
by the Admissions Office, the MedStarz program
provides students exposure to medicine and will
include experiences that encompass the following:
- Sessions on navigating the medical school
application process
- Introduction to the Problem Based Learning
(PBL) model in small group sessions
- Hands on experience in the gross anatomy
lab
- Clinical lectures on medical topics
- Diversity and cultural competency exercises
- Sessions on managing study skills
- Contact with physicians in the clinical setting
There are 15 positions available and the program
is 2 weeks in length. Travel and housing
allowance will be available. Students
in the program may have the opportunity to live
with a current medical student if so desired.
The positions are obtained through an application
process. Applications
must be submitted by March 1, 2006 and decisions
will be made by April 1, 2006. Students
entering their sophomore, junior, or senior years
of college are eligible.
The program is an important component of the
Medical University of Ohio diversity initiative
and is open to all students. Underrepresented
minority students, students from disadvantaged
backgrounds, and women are strongly encouraged
to apply. The Medical University of Ohio believes
that obtaining the benefits that flow from a diverse
student body is a compelling interest for our
institution. A diverse student body is important
in promoting cross-cultural understanding, helps
to break down stereotypes, promotes a richer classroom
learning environment, and helps to develop a diverse,
integrated student body that promotes leadership.
