Medical Student Scholars Program  

In an effort to recognize the diversity of student interests at UCCOM and to allow highly-motivated students the option of exploring a medically-related topic in-depth throughout their four years in medical school, we are offering first-year medical students an exciting new opportunity – the Medical Student Scholars Program (MSSP).

Students accepted into a MSSP path are engaged in preceptor-supervised educational experiences within a circumscribed area of interest. They participate in clinical and didactic activities that go above and beyond the required components of the medical school curriculum.

Students who successfully complete all MSSP requirements and who remain in good standing in Medical School have the MSSP distinction mentioned during the Honors Day ceremony when they are awarded their medical degree and it is also noted in their Dean’s letter for application to residency training programs.

The current MSSP paths are:

• Child and Adolescent Health  
• Geriatric 
• Mental Health
• Neuroscience 
• Nutrition
• Women's Health
