After an early fall meeting of prospective students for Davidson in Kikuyu, each interested student will submit an application for the Premedical Director's review. Selections of five student participants will be made by fall registration.
Preference is given to juniors and sophomores though seniors and freshmen are invited to apply.
Gross anatomy, histology, cytology and molecular biology will be emphasized. Students will travel to Wake Forest School of Medicine for human dissection of those organs most effected by the disease under study. The pathology of the disease will be examined. Whenever possible, students will consult with local physicians who will help them understand the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of the disease under study. For example, a cardiologist would be a consult for coronary heart disease, a condition which is very prevalent at Kikuyu.
