PRESS RELEASE
The Florida State University College of Medicine's Summer Institute program, which began in 2003 as part of an outreach effort to recruit minorities into the College, offers high-school-aged students of diverse backgrounds an opportunity to experience what it’s like to be both a doctor and medical student. With more than 60 participants each summer, the program aims to introduce graduating students to the medical profession by offering problem-based learning, seminars hosted by the College of Medicine's faculty and opportunities to shadow local physicians specifically chosen based on an applicant's interests.
