The Pre-Med Summer Fellowship is a 12-week, remote, asynchronous, health literacy program that uses a combination of modules and workshops to focus on teaching verbal and visual healthcare communication skills (digital drawing!), improving health literacy education, and providing exposure to 8 different areas of medicine.

The Pre-Med Summer Fellowship is open to all undergraduate students — from freshman to seniors — and to those who have recently completed their undergraduate degrees. For those in the middle of a gap year, or looking for a program to do during the Fall/Winter, check out our Gap-Year Fellowship program.

Absolutely not! In fact, this program was specifically designed for non-artists. We teach digital drawing skills because the learning curve is much quicker. With that being said, it definitely doesn’t hurt to have an art background, and we designed the program with the intention that those with previous art skills will also gain super useful skills as well!

The Summer Fellowship starts the first week of June. You will have access to all the fellowship materials for 12 weeks.

Based on the experiences of fellows in previous cohorts, you can expect to spend about 2-3 hours per module, so if you do about one module a week, it comes out to 2-3 hours on a weekly basis. This timeframe also takes into account time spent practicing and reviewing drawings. Since the program is asynchronous, how much time you want to spend practicing your skills is completely up to you — we believe that the best way to improve your skills is by practicing!

Yes! In fact, we actually recommend our Fellows to participate in other pre-med related activities over the summer in addition to being a part of the Fellowship. The asynchronous fellowship was designed specifically to allow our Fellows to not only get involved in other opportunities over the summer, but also to provide time to have fun as well! We encourage our Fellows to try to find shadowing opportunities throughout the summer as we have seen the Fellowship enhance their experience in clinical settings, and vice versa.
