2005 SUMMER MEDICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM
- http://www.aamc.org/students/considering/smep/start.htm
Summer Medical Education The Summer Medical Education Program (SMEP),
formerly the Minority Medical Education Program (MMEP), has a long and
distinguished history (PDF, 3 pages - 67KB) as a national academic
enrichment program that helps promising, highly motivated students gain
admission to medical school. SMEP prepares students for the competitive medical
school admission process. Of all the SMEP graduates who have applied to medical
school, 63% have been accepted.
Created in 1988, and funded by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the summer program accepts college undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students who are interested in careers in the health professions. SMEP is committed to helping create a well-trained, diverse physician and health-professions workforce. It is intended for students who are strong advocates for diversity and/or come from groups that are underrepresented in medicine. For instance, applicants may come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, racial and ethnic groups that historically have been underrepresented in medicine, or parts of the country (such as rural areas) where residents historically have been underrepresented in medicine. All students with a commitment to diversity in the workforce--in the widest and most inclusive sense of the word--are welcome in SMEP.
SMEP is a free (full tuition, housing, and meals) six-week summer medical school preparatory program offering eligible students intensive and personalized medical school preparation. A well-established and well-respected national academic enrichment program, SMEP is located at eleven medical school sites around the country.
Make your summers count with SMEP!

Summer Student Fellowships
are awarded to undergraduate students completing their junior or senior year at
colleges or universities, studying in any of the fields of science or
engineering with at least a tentative interest in the ocean sciences,
oceanographic engineering, mathematics, or marine policy. Fellowships are
awarded to pursue an independent research project under the guidance of a
member of the Scientific or Senior Technical Staff. These projects typically
are suggested by the advisor, and are agreed upon jointly by fellow and
advisor. Through this program of Summer Fellowship grants, Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institution's (WHOI) aim is to give a promising group of science
and engineering students experience, which will assist
them in determining whether they wish to devote careers to the study of the
oceans.
WHOI cannot offer formal
academic credit toward degree requirements for participation in the Summer
Student Fellowship Program; although, such credit has often been awarded by the
student's own college or university. The program has been very popular and,
consequently, very competitive, with an average of about ten to fifteen percent
of the applicants receiving awards. This program is made possible through the
generosity of friends of the Institution and grants from the National Science
Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates Program.
Fellows are selected on a competitive basis, with final decisions based on the
applicant's previous academic and scientific achievements and promise as future
ocean scientists or ocean engineers. Important consideration is given to
matching each fellow with an appropriate advisor on the Research Staff. The
advisor helps the student select and pursue a research project that can provide
meaningful results in one summer's work. Fellows are not required to take any
prescribed courses, nor are they required to provide any services to the
Institution in return for the summer grant. At the end of the summer, each fellow
is expected to prepare a written report describing his or her research and to
make a public oral presentation of his or her results. Fellows have an
excellent opportunity to select and pursue a research problem of their own with
access to more than two hundred practicing research scientists and engineers
and to the facilities of a major oceanographic institution. In addition,
fellows are welcome to participate in the busy summer schedule of seminars and
colloquia in the Woods Hole scientific community, which provides an excellent
introduction to the many facets of marine science.
Summer Student Fellowships are awarded to undergraduate students who have
completed their junior or senior year at colleges or universities studying in
any of the fields of science or engineering including but not limited to the
fields of biology, chemistry, engineering, geology, geophysics, mathematics,
meteorology, physics, oceanography, and marine policy. Students must have at
least a tentative interest in the ocean sciences, oceanographic engineering,
mathematics, or marine policy. Women and persons from under represented groups
are encouraged to apply.
Summer Student Fellowship awards for the summer of 2005 carry a stipend of $396
per week for a ten- to twelve-week program. Additional support may be provided
for travel.
Institution housing is available for rental by fellowship recipients.
