Students also meet community leaders to learn about the challenges that affect the availability and quality of healthcare in some urban neighborhoods.
This is not just an exploration of hospital culture, says director Beck, "but a personal journey into becoming a member of a professional society."
The program is open to students 18 years and older. Enrollment is limited and admission is on a rolling basis, so students are encouraged to apply as soon as possible and no later than February 26, 2018. For information and to apply, see sce.cornell.edu/medicine.
