PREMED

Summer Premed courses are perfect if you’re either in a Premed program or are entering one in the fall. If you are planning to start a Premed program in the fall, use your summer to take preparatory coursework in Chemistry, Physics, or Math. If you are currently in a program, you can use your summer to focus on one or two required courses while gaining volunteer experience at a New York City hospital.
Lab fees, paid at the time of registration, cover the costs of nonreturnable items, chemicals, and reasonable breakage. In addition, students may be charged for excessive breakage, returning equipment uncleaned, or late check-out. Students must present lab fee receipt at the first laboratory meeting.

Volunteers are asked to commit to a set number of hours weekly and a minimum length of service, to support continuity of services for patients. Specific commitment requirements vary among facilities and programs, but the range is from three to six hours per week for a period of from three to six months.
