Pre-Health Scholars Program

Program Description

The Pre-Health Scholars Program (PSP) is a six-week program designed to help expose undergraduate students to the health professions at UTHSC. Students spend six weeks gaining valuable clinical knowledge with the College of Medicine, College of Dentistry, College of Pharmacy, College of Nursing, and the College of Health Professions. During their time at UTHSC scholars can expect to gain hands on experiences through clinical, classroom, and service-learning activities.

Program Overview

Students gain hands-on exposure to clinical settings and are provided an avenue for reflection and professional development. Students who successfully complete two summers, at the discretion of Health Career Programs staff, will receive GRE, MCAT, DAT, or PACAT test preparation. Scholars can expect weekly seminar sessions, clinical simulation experiences, access to UTHSC resources, capstone project, and clinical shadowing.
