Pre-Med Summer Institute

The Pre-Med Summer Institute is an intensive, non-credit program offered to undergraduate students who are seriously considering applying to medical school at Memorial University. The program accepts one candidate from each of the co-sponsoring Indigenous communities.

Each participant:

• Explores life as a medical student, resident, and physician
• Is mentored by a physician or medical student
• Gains insights on health, health care, Indigenous health, and the practice of medicine in rural and remote communities
• Improves their chances for acceptance into medical school

The Pre-Med Summer Institute is sponsored jointly by the Faculty of Medicine and Labrador-Grenfell Health Authority, with co-support from the Innu Nation of Labrador, Miawpukek First Nation, Nunatsiavut Inuit, Nunatukavut Southern Inuit, and the Qalipu First Nation.
