Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Health Sciences and Health Careers Pipeline is excited to announce a comprehensive six week, interdisciplinary summer program. The Summer Academic Enrichment Program (SAEP) is available for upper level undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, and recently graduated students interested in attending a health professions school here at VCU! The program places a strong emphasis on enhancing the academic preparation of students approaching the application process. Upon completion of SAEP, participants will have the tools that will help them to assess their strengths and weaknesses in regards to application to a health professions school.
Highlights of SAEP include challenging course work in the biological sciences, discipline specific instruction, and engaging summer workshops. Students will apply to one of four tracks (dentistry, medicine, pharmacy or physical therapy), and this will determine their discipline specific course material. Participants are provided housing and a stipend to cover program expenses. We hope that you will share this information with students in your classes and student organizations. SAEP will take place on the VCU MCV Campus from May 23, 2013- July 3, 2013. Please note that the application deadline is February 15, 2013.
Please visit us at http://www.dhsd.vcu.edu/ for full program details and the online application. The SAEP application opens today, November 1st!
