Empowering Healthcare Mentorship
The Pre‑Med Student Volunteer Shadowing Program, under the leadership of Jason Cohen, MD, is for undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students who are planning to attend medical school. The program provides shadowing and mentorship, as well as a glimpse into what it means to be a physician today. The program offers students a chance to gauge and affirm their interest in medicine as a career. We are driven to be diverse and inclusive. One of our goals is to provide opportunities for students from educationally or economically under-resourced communities who have not previously shadowed healthcare providers.
Program Information
What to Expect
Over the 8‑10 week program, volunteers who are pre-med students will be assigned to a team of mentors within a specific specialty. Volunteers may shadow physicians on patient clinic visits, rounds, grand rounds, collaboration meetings and even in the operating room if they are assigned to a surgical specialty. The program includes weekly meetings with guest physicians to hear about their journeys in medicine.
