Pre-MD-PhD Summer Program in New York City

Applications for the 2017 Gateways to the Laboratory Summer Program for Pre-MD-PhD students are now being accepted.

Find out more about the Gateways to the Laboratory Program and its unique blended learning format by clicking here.

At the request of several advisors who wish to send targeted emails, I hope this eligibility information helps.  The Gateways to the Laboratory Program is for:

• Freshman and sophomores (at time of application) only;
• Underrepresented minority and/or disadvantaged backgrounds or have a disability;
• US Citizens/Permanent Residents;
• Students who wish to pursue the combined MD-PhD degrees after college.

The application deadline for this and most other summer programs is February 1.

I would also like to share two podcasts “Tri-I Pod” (available on iTunes) we’ve put together related to the Gateways to the Laboratory Program. Episode 3 of the podcasts specifically talks about the unique mentoring program “Big Sibs” that we practice in Gateways. Episode 4 of the podcast discusses the unique journal club we offer and the incredible support system that guides it.
