Welcome to the Scholarly Concentrations Program application site for current medical students.
Applications to the Scholarly Concentrations program will be available and accepted from Dec. 6, 2024, until Jan. 5, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. ET. A link to the application will be on this page on Dec. 6. See details about available concentrations below.
Students typically begin their concentration between the first and second years of medical school, or during the first year, and continue into their fourth year. There may be opportunities to begin a concentration during the second year of medical school; however, this can be very difficult. The program is longitudinal and occurs alongside your core medical education. Before applying to a concentration, it is critical that you talk with the concentration co-directors and your lead advisor to determine if the plan of study will work in your schedule and aligns with your interests. See available concentrations below for details about recruitment, location requirements, and what you can expect to do in summer 2025.
Students who complete a concentration earn eight weeks of non-clinical elective credits toward graduation, a scholarly concentration designation on their transcript and are recognized at graduation.
