See below for information on two summer programs offered by the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine:
Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Program.
The SURF program provides a wide variety of summer research opportunities for undergraduate students interested in careers in medicine or biomedical research. Participants in this program work on various research topics under the guidance of an HCOM Biomedical Science or Social Medicine faculty member. The goal is to expose students to the challenges, excitement and satisfaction of research. Given the COVID pandemic, SURF will be conducted in a safe, yet impactful, virtual format.
The SURF program is 7 weeks in length and includes a living allowance, and the potential for a guaranteed interview for the entering class at the medical school. Detailed information, eligibility requirements, and application materials can be obtained by going to the SURF web site at https://www.ohio.edu/
Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine Summer Scholars Program.
The Summer Scholars program is a tremendous academic experience for underrepresented, or educationally or economically disadvantaged students to grow personally and be challenged professionally. The program replicates what will be experienced in the first year of medical school at OU-HCOM. Courses, taught by OU-HCOM faculty, and current medical students, include subject matter in gross anatomy, histology, immunology, biochemistry, integrated biomedical sciences, an introduction to the flipped classroom pedagogy and the HCOM curriculum. In addition, there will be workshops dealing with the admission process, learning strategies, time management and many other experiences relevant to the medical school experience. Given the COVID pandemic, Summer Scholars will be conducted in a safe, impactful, virtual format. We had great success with this format last year and look forward to the 2021 program.
The Summer Scholars Program is five weeks in length and includes a living allowance, and the potential for a guaranteed interview for the entering class at the medical school.
