The Early Medical Education Program (EME) is an initiative to increase the academic competitiveness of undergraduate pre-medical students, early in their college career. The program is designed to provide medical science lectures and academic
support through a 4-week, summer enrichment program for the first two summers and a 6-week, pre-matriculation program for the third summer. Students are selected from one of the participating linkage schools. Once accepted into EME, if students meet the program
requirements they are granted a guaranteed acceptance into SUNY Downstate's College of Medicine.
EHC is an initiative to expose students to a variety of career options in the health professions. The program is designed to provide exposure to targeted health professions through faculty presentations, shadowing opportunities in clinics and affiliate sites,
and information about the application process. The professions highlighted during the program include: medicine, allied health, graduate studies, and nursing.
