Hello SDN community,
Many of you have already heard about our program and have even made posts regarding this program. I am currently one of the Assistant Directors of the program and would like to take some time to introduce our program and address any questions.
Our program is sponsored by the Department of Surgery of the UC Davis Medical Center. You can find a link to our website on the bottom right of this link: https://www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/surgery/education/critical.html
You can also find a direct link to our program using: www.premedsurgery.org
Our program advisors include many of the top Surgeons in the nation including Dr. Farmer, Dr, Galante, Dr. Wisner, and more. If you would like a full list of our faculty sponsors, please visit the following link: http://www.premedsurgery.org/people/program-coordinators/
I have included below our mission statement. However, you can find out a lot more about our program by visiting our website. Our program is open to all pre-medical students. You do not have to be a UC Davis undergraduate student. You do not even have to be an undergraduate student. The minimum requirements for our program is that you must be 17 years of age and have a minimum 2.7 GPA. While a 2.7 GPA may seem low, it does not mean that you are guaranteed acceptance by meeting these standards. We understand that getting into medical school is not a numbers game, which is why our standards are so low. We have accepted applicants with GPA's along the entire range of 2.7 - 4.0. In addition, we have accepted applicants with ages ranging from 17 - 56. Our goal is to help pre-medical students get into medical school so we encourage everyone that meets our requirements to apply. We are currently working on submitting a publication on our program outcomes. However, I can say that many of our applicants have gone on to be accepted into medical schools (including many top twenty schools).
Our Mission
The UC Davis Pre-Medical Surgical Internship, Mentorship, and Research Program is a unique and rigorous experience that exposes participants to the field of surgery by immersing them in a professional medical environment. Program components are designed to introduce the academic and clinical activities typically experienced by physicians and medical students. This competitive program is intended for individuals who have demonstrated their interest in pursuing a career as a physician. We pride ourselves in accepting participants who are responsible, mature, and committed.
Apologies for the long post but please ask any questions that you have regarding the program! If there are any program alumni, please feel free to provide your input on your experience!
