Overview
Albany State University’s (ASU) Aspiring Scholars in Undergraduate Pre-Medicine Program at Albany Georgia offers a dynamic collaboration with Morehouse School of Medicine and University of Connecticut Health School of Medicine to provide an exclusive opportunity through exposure in a comprehensive educational experience to Bridge Excellence through Diverse Exposures in Medicine. The program combines academic enrichment, professional development, and cultural engagement to prepare students for future careers in healthcare while staying connected to ASU.
Clinical Experience
Students will tour the medical school environment to gain insight into the environment and receive a firsthand look at the facilities and resources for clinical experience through exposure. Participants will engage directly with healthcare professionals to build connections that can be valuable for mentorship and network opportunities. In the clinical setting, students will work cohesively to delve into advanced medical topics, gaining a deeper understanding of medical practices and the healthcare system through dialogue and case studies, providing awareness of the diverse clinical settings available to expose patient care, diagnosis, and medical communication skills. Additionally, scholars will be involved in public health research, which will allow students to see the interface between community health issues and healthcare and equip them with critical analytical skills in relation to healthcare. In turn, students will learn to be able to explore the tenets of public health and contribute to identifying meaningful solutions.
