Since 1989 MMEP over 7,300 students have participated in the program. This is a six-week summer enrichment program. Participants meet a number of physicians, many of whom are minority, and observe them as they practice medicine. In short this program provides students with the essential information they need to become a competitive medical school applicant. This program is offered at Case Western Reserve University and 10 other universities throughout the United States.
Most medical schools continue to encourage applications from minorities.
While scores continue to be a primary factor in filling their classes, medical schools also select students on the basis of students that will potentially meet the medical needs of people from all ethnic and racial backgrounds. Among the Ohio medical schools that have expressed a very strong interest in recruiting minority students is Case Western Reserve University, Ohio University, and University of Cincinnati. If you are a resident of Ohio you are strongly encouraged to apply to these medical schools as well as the other medical schools in Ohio.
