Dean's Scholars Program at Xavier University of Louisiana
Mayo Clinic has partnered with Xavier to launch a pathway program that prepares undergraduates for medical school through mentorship, clinical shadowing, MCAT preparation, research experience, and other professional development activities in Jacksonville, Florida.
Native American Pathway Program (NAPP)
The Native American Pathway Program addresses Native American health disparities by increasing the number of Native Americans in health careers. This virtual five-week summer program matches pre-medical students with mentors to help develop skills and strategies for the medical school admissions process.
RISE for Youth Program (Rochester)
The RISE for Youth program is a first-of-its-kind collaboration between Mayo Clinic and the Rochester branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) designed to help Black and underrepresented students transform themselves from youth with potential to competitive and empowered talent entering the workforce. This program is a four-week summer program that engages high school juniors, seniors, and college undergraduates in a program designed to enhance opportunities for post-secondary education and entry into the workforce. Participants will examine healthcare careers and will be partnered with mentors from Mayo Clinic and the surrounding community. Through discussions and exploration of leadership and professional development topics, students will gain insightful knowledge, hands-on experience, and professional skills.
Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF)
SURF, sponsored by Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, is a great way to build your skills as a young scientist or test your inclinations toward research for 10 weeks. This program is partially funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health.
Undergraduate Plummer Scholars (UPS) Program
The primary aim of the UPS Program is to expose, excite, and engage underrepresented undergraduates with high potential of pursuing a career in medicine. The program spans nine months during the academic school year and includes distance learning webinars on topics including MCAT prep, summer research opportunities, the medical student experience, and the medical school application and interview process.
Undergraduate Plummer Scholars Plus (UPS+) Program
The Undergraduate Plummer Scholars Program has a UPS+ track for outstanding pre-medical college sophomores. In addition to the webinars, the UPS+ students participate in a near-peer mentorship program with Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine medical students from Minnesota and Arizona. UPS+ students also have the opportunity to apply for admission to an intensive week-long summer program hosted at Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, AZ. The summer program is centered on clinical shadowing with Mayo Clinic faculty and physicians, MCAT test preparation, professional and academic development, and workshops to guide students in the medical admissions process and beyond.
The UPS nine-month program runs from September to May. The week-long UPS Summer Program is held in June.
Worrall Scholars Program
The Worrall Scholars Program recruits talented pre-medical minority students to Mayo Clinic to experience our world-class medical education environment. Selection is based on high achievement on the MCAT with scores in the top percentile as reported by the Association of American Medical Colleges' Medical Minority Applicant Registry (Med-Mar)*. The program offers a three-day visit (April 11-13, 2024) in Phoenix, Arizona, with clinical shadowing at Mayo Clinic and faculty presentations at Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine. Scholars also participate in a mentorship program with Mayo Clinic physicians to help guide them through the medical school admissions process and their career development.
*This program is by invitation only. Interested students who are eligible to participate in the Med-Mar registry are advised to opt into the registry when taking the MCAT in order to have their scores reported and available for consideration.
