Primary Care Scholars Week
May 19 - May 30, 2008
A Primary Care Scholars Program is offered for students completing at least
one year of college. The students, selected by the participating schools
(through their Health Advisor) based on agreed-upon criteria, will spend a week
at the Hershey Medical Center participating in
lectures, seminars, and clinical
experiences. The curriculum includes:
- Didactic (family medicine, medicine, pediatrics, family systems,
preventive medicine, primary care, healthcare delivery/payment system,
doctor-patient relationship, and health care team);
- Introduction to the College and Hospital (student affairs, medical
education, student life, and hospital departments); and
- Clinical exposure accompanied by primary care physicians. In addition to
the one-week program at the College of Medicine, the student participates in a
preceptorship in a primary care office during the second week of the
experience.
The Scholars Program began the summer of 1994 and has continued annually.
