Virginia Commonwealth University is pleased to offer the Summer Academic Enrichment Program (SAEP).
SAEP
is an intensive,
six-week inter-professional program designed to enhance the preparation
of junior and senior undergraduates, and post-baccalaureate students,
actively pursuing enrollment in a health professions school. The
curriculum is designed around an interprofessional
framework that provides:
· Introduction to the rigor of first-year health professions courses at VCU through three professional-level science courses
·Discipline specific instruction time (dentistry, medicine, pharmacy, physical therapy)
·Workshops on admissions, professionalism, test-taking and learning skills
·Individual and group counseling
· Mock interviews
· Seminars on current and relevant health sciences topics
·Community service opportunities
·Networking and social events
Students
apply to one of four tracks (dentistry, medicine, pharmacy or physical
therapy), which will determine their discipline
specific concentration.Upon completion of the program, participants
will have the tools that will help them to assess their strengths and
weaknesses in regards to application into a health professions school.
The 2016 application deadline is
February 1, 2016. SAEP will run from May 23 - July 1, 2016. Application and program details are available at
www.dhsd.vcu.edu.
