The Northeast Regional Alliance MedPrep Program

12/4/08

The Northeast Regional Alliance (NERA) MedPrep Program is currently accepting applications for all NYC and NJ High School Seniors, College Freshmen and Sophomore residents who inspire to become doctors.  Manhattan-Staten Island AHEC has teamed up with three of the top universities in the region: Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, New Jersey Medical School University of Medicine and Dentistry and Mount Sinai School of Medicine Centerfor Multicultural and Community Affairs.

  

The Program uniquely builds on the collective expertise of four outstanding institutions to expand health careers preparation for minority and disadvantaged students from junior high school through medical school with the goal of increasing competitiveness for medical school.  Ultimately, we expect that our scholars will have the humanism, professionalism and interpersonal skills required of a future physician caring for a diverse population. 

 

 

This is a rolling admission process.  Students planning to start this year should submit their applications by

February 15th, 2010
