Applications for the 2017 Gateways to the Laboratory Summer Program for Pre-MD-PhD students are now being accepted. This outstanding pre-MD-PhD summer program was recently featured in Academic Medicine along with its 20 year outcome study.

The Gateways to the Laboratory Program is for:

· Freshman and sophomores (at time of application) only;

· Underrepresented minority and/or disadvantaged backgrounds or have a disability;

· US Citizens/Permanent Residents;

· Students who wish to pursue the combined MD-PhD degrees after college.

The application deadline for this and most other summer programs is February 1.

I would also like to share two podcasts “Tri-I Pod” (available on iTunes) we’ve put together related to the Gateways to the Laboratory Program. Episode 3 of the podcasts specifically talks about the unique mentoring program “Big Sibs” that we practice in Gateways. Episode 4 of the podcast discusses the unique journal club we offer and the incredible support system that guides it.
